- Start-up Solido optimizes transistor-level statistical analysis
With its new SolidoStat tool set, Solido Design Automation wants to help analog-system and full-custom-digital-system designers get more insight into the statistical-analysis step of the traditional tool flow. Statistical-timing analysis and Monte Carlo simulation are common steps in these tool flows, but most designers typically use a Monte Carlo simulation ......
- Aggregation of direct dyes investigated by molecular modeling
HEADNOTE ABSTRACT HEADNOTE Molecular modeling simulating aqueous conditions is used to elucidate the formation of aggregates of sulfonated chromophores, including Congo Red and Trypan Blue. The relative energies involved in the aggregation process are calculated and geometric features of the molecules and their aggregates are discussed. Parallel stacking facing one ......
