Perturbo is a materials science software package for exploring materials. A new piece of software developed at Caltech makes it easier to study the behavior of electrons in materials, even materials that have been predicted but do not yet exist. The software, called Perturbo, is gaining traction among researchers. Perturbo calculates at a quantum level how electrons interact […]
