What is it about?
Nowadays, scientists do a lot of studies on tiny objects made up of atoms by building them in computers, but it is hard to compare how rough they are. We have proposed two methods to measure the roughness of these objects, and made them available for everyone.

Why is it important?
Being able to measure the roughness of these objects opens up the possibilities for scientists to understand what makes them rough (or smooth), which is important for a lot of applications.
Perspectives
Solving the problems involved in this project using mathematical and programming knowledge has been great fun! I hope it enables others working on simulated objects to further advance their studies!
