The efficiency of the thermodynamically-weighted activation-relaxation technique (THWART) is many orders of magnitude greater than standard molecular dynamics, even at room temperature and above, in systems as complex as proteins and amorphous silicon.4 pages, 4 postscript figuresMaterials ScienceEfficient sampling in complex materials at finite temperature: the thermodynamically-weighted activation-relaxation techniquetext
