Spinhenge@Home

Spinhenge@home was a <a href="/facts/Volunteer_computing/YkXGa3N8">volunteer computing</a> project on the <a href="/facts/BOINC/RPaqqojG">BOINC</a> platform, which performs extensive numerical simulations concerning the physical characteristics of magnetic molecules. It is a project of the <a href="/facts/Bielefeld_University_of_Applied_Sciences/r7nBQwkq">Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences</a>, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, in cooperation with the <a href="/facts/University_of_Osnabr%25C3%25BCck/3KwPSa05">University of Osnabrück</a> and <a href="/facts/Ames_Laboratory/zwwxY36t">Ames Laboratory</a>.
The project began <a href="/facts/Development_stage/z4Q4RElA">beta testing</a> on September 1, 2006, and used the Metropolis <a href="/facts/Monte_Carlo_method/AkHjY7jc">Monte Carlo algorithm</a> to calculate and simulate <a href="/facts/Spin_(physics)/4Jvp7e8P">spin</a> dynamics in <a href="/facts/Nanotechnology/Co4FFNfY">nanoscale</a> <a href="/facts/Single-molecule_magnet/DeCvSdzv">molecular magnets</a>.
On September 28, 2011, a hiatus was announced while the project team reviewed results and upgraded hardware. As of July 10, 2022 the hiatus continues and it is likely that the project has been closed down permanently.
