Interactive matter simulation using LATTICE.
LatticeLab - is a desktop app where you can experimente with atoms in real time.
The idea is simple:
you choose how particles should interact with each other, and observe
Without any animations made in advance.
Only particles and forces between them.
But it's already enough to make the system behave like real matter.
- self-formation of crystals
- particle diffusion
- grid's oscillation, waves and phonon-like vibration
- emergence of grains and domain boundaries
- packing defects and local lattice distortions
- nucleation of inhomogeneities
- waves, phonons, and interference
- local ordering and structural breakdown
- behavior resembling solids, liquids, and transitional states
- relaxation after collisions, compression, or parameter changes
- molecules and chemical reactions
- charged particles and Coulomb forces
- metals and alloys
- electricity and conductivity
- more advanced physical models
Normally, physics is all about complex formulas
But here, you can observe how composite behavior is born out of simple rules
- for educational purposes
- for experimenting
- to understand how the world around us works
