Atomistix A/S is a Danish software firm specializing in solutions for Nanotechnology researchers. Founded in October 2003, Atomistix has developed a system of integrated software modules based on quantum theory - the Atomistix Virtual NanoLab™ - that can accurately calculate properties associated with electron distribution and transport, and simulate experiments with integrated nanoscale systems. Its associated modeling program is called the Atomistix Toolkit. The company's software offers researchers a platform on which to conduct their research and experiment with new structures and interactions, without ever having to enter a laboratory.

There are massive implications for software like those produced by Atomistix. Firstly, modeling software could save researchers huge amounts of time and money spent in the laboratory, and structures only need be created after they are completely modeled, taking into account the strange behavior of structures on so small a level. Secondly, as computing enters new generations, and conventional computers are improved upon and replaced, eventually, by hypercomputers and quantum computers, software for scientific and mathematic modeling will be able to handle more and more complex computations. Next generation software could model the next generation hardware which could in turn lead to a revolution in software, and on and on.

That said, Atomistix and companies like it should be paid serious attention in the future, as they are strategically placed to have a huge impact on the future of technology.
