CCL: Announcement: Materials Studio 5.0 Release

 Sent to CCL by: "Stephen  Todd" [stodd[A]accelrys.com]
 I am pleased to announce the release of Materials Studio 5.0. New functionality
 in this release includes:
 * Parallelized versions of Forcite Plus and Mesocite for classical simulations
 of atoms and beads
 * Mesocite now includes a parallel implementation of dissipative particle
 dynamics for simulations of soft matter
 * A new Amorphous Cell which enables building of any type of amorphous
 structure, including the capabilities to constrain packing to defined volumes
 and improved treatment of flexible torsions and ring spearing.
 * CASTEP, our plane-wave DFT code, can now compute Raman intensities, has
 improved spectra display for core level spectra, and includes the new PBEsol
 gradient corrected density functional.
 * Improved forcefield support, periodic QMPot, and vibrational frequencies for
 QM/MM calculations using QMERA
 * Extensions to the AM1* semi-empirical hamiltonian in VAMP
 * Much much more...
