Molecular dynamics (MD) is a simulation technique used to study the motion of atoms and molecules in a system. It involves calculating the forces acting on each particle and integrating the equations of motion to determine their positions and velocities over time. MD simulations can provide insights into a wide range of physical phenomena, including the behavior of materials, the dynamics of biomolecules, and the interactions between molecules in solution.
