Discover the fundamental nature of matter; everything is made of atoms! The atomic theory is brought to life in "Atoms in Motion", and it can be upgraded with an in-app purchase to the full version of Atoms in Motion. In this simulation you control the atoms! "Atoms in Motion" is a fully interactive atomistic simulation that uses sophisticated Molecular Dynamics (MD) algorithms to perform computational chemistry calculations right on your iPad. Such computational simulations reveal the motions of atoms as they attract, repel, and interact with one another to form unique structures and states of matter. "Atoms in Motion" is the ideal App to discover and interact with the physics of chemistry and materials. With the tap of a finger you can easily add, delete, or highlight atoms within the simulation. With a gentle touch you can move, place, or even throw atoms. With the swipe of a finger you can control the temperature and explore the states-of-matter (solids, liquids, and gases). Uncover the physics behind the ideal gas laws, and perform your own experiments by changing the volume, the number of atoms in the simulation, or the temperature. Now as you build and create experiments, you can easily save, manage, and organized them from within the App. The student edition of "Atoms in Motion" uses the same interactive 2-D Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation as the original, but is limited to 100 neon (Ne) atoms. The Van der Waals forces are computed using a Lennard Jones 6-12 potential, and the simulation continuously computes the pressure. Users can vary the temperature from near absolute zero to over 500K, and add up to 100 neon atoms to the simulation. "There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics" - Richard P. Feynman Enjoy the Atoms!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Atoms In Motion, Student Ed. at Free against Gravity 6D's $1.99. Atoms In Motion, Student Ed. also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Gravity 6D's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Atoms In Motion, Student Ed. is free to download; Gravity 6D costs $1.99 up front. Atoms In Motion, Student Ed. sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Gravity 6D asks for nothing beyond the download.
Gravity 6D holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Atoms In Motion, Student Ed. has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Atoms In Motion, Student Ed. ships an update every 62 months, Gravity 6D every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
