How Do These Limitations Affect Research and Development?
The limitations of force fields can have a profound impact on the research and development of nanomaterials. Inaccurate force fields can lead to erroneous predictions, which can misguide experimental efforts and delay progress. The lack of transferability means that researchers often need to develop new force fields for each new material system, which is resource-intensive. Additionally, the high computational cost of accurate force fields can limit the size and complexity of systems that can be studied.
