Abstract
The 300‐year‐old discipline of Newtonian mechanics is still the basis for today's computer calculations at our national laboratories. However, computers are prompting important changes within mechanics itself. Versions of atomistic mechanics now under development save time by matching numerical techniques to computer capabilities, which—even with the fastest, newest machines—are quite limited when compared to the complexities inherent in modeling the real world.Keywords
