…(e.g., a speedy finite-difference time-domain method and novel boundary conditions). Because of this, our tool delivers accurate simulations that correctly depict the spatial distribution and the time evolution of electrons….
…and see results in real time. For three decades, we’ve been extending students’ senses with probeware. In 1981, Bob Tinker designed the first microcomputer- based real-time temperature data grapher for…
