  • Abstract
    The engineering analysis and microscopic simulations required for predicting materials´ properties from atomistic descriptions require approaches for predicting macroscopic properties. Patch dynamics bridges the gap between the time and space scales at which the microscopic models operate, helping predict system-level behavior.
