VASP (Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package)

VASP (Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package) is a software tool used by scientists to study the properties of materials at the atomic level. It uses quantum mechanics — the physics of tiny particles — to accurately predict how atoms in a material interact, bond, and respond to different conditions. This helps researchers understand and design new materials, such as faster electronics, better batteries, or stronger metals, by simulating their behavior without physically creating them. VASP is widely used in materials science and condensed matter physics for its precision and reliability in modeling complex atomic systems.
