Highlights of the Year

We have released the first version of the SAMSON software platform for computational nanoscience on the SAMSON Connect website (http://www.samson-connect.net ). Using the SAMSON Connect website, users may download SAMSON and choose which SAMSON Elements (modules for SAMSON) to add to their configuration (e.g. a nanotube creator, for users interested in materials science). Developers may download the SAMSON Software Development Kit (SDK) to develop SAMSON Elements and upload them to the SAMSON Connect website. We are frequently releasing updates, on Windows, Linux, and Mac (Figure 3 ).
