In materials development and nanoscale research, the limitations of "trial-and-error development relying solely on conventional experiments" and the "dramatic evolution of computational techniques" have led to an increasing importance of "first-principles calculations" and "molecular dynamics simulations" day by day. The effects obtained through simulations include: - Dramatic reduction in development time and costs - Understanding atomic and electronic-level behaviors that are "invisible" in experiments - Integration with materials informatics (MI) - Considerations for sustainability and environmental and safety constraints However, for those who want to start simulations, the reality is that operating simulation software, creating input files, and setting up the environment present significant hurdles. Therefore, we would like to introduce the integrated GUI environment for nanomaterials analysis, "Advance/NanoLabo," provided by Advance Soft Corporation. Additionally, we will provide a beginner-friendly explanation of the world-standard computational engines "Quantum ESPRESSO" and "LAMMPS," which operate behind NanoLabo.

This time, we bring you a report from the exhibition hall of the "82nd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Microscopy," held at the Sendai International Center on May 26, 2026. This conference is a highly specialized venue where the latest insights on various microscopy technologies, including electron microscopy, and their applied research gather. I participated on the second day and experienced the "enthusiasm on the ground" that supports cutting-edge research in Japan!

In modern research and development, as well as in the medical field, it has become essential to combine "diverse types of data (multimodality)" and seamlessly observe the "hierarchies from micro to macro (multiscale)." However, integrating complex data for high-precision analysis often requires advanced programming skills and specialized knowledge... The solution to such challenges is the 3D visualization platform "Dragonfly," developed by the Canadian company Comet Technologies. This time, we will introduce its overwhelming features and appeal!
