Dear Quantum Espresso users,

QuantumWise (/www.quantumwise.com/) is happy to announce the*Virtual NanoLab (VNL) FREE graphical user interface for Quantum Espresso*!

*- VNL features (see more at /http://quantumwise.com/products/vnl/)*

VNL offers a wide range of tools for building atomic geometry for molecules, crystals, surfaces, nanostructures,
and devices. These include*3D manipulation tools*, a*surface cleaver*, an*interface builder*, and a*molecular builder*.

VNL is available for*Linux*,*Windows*, and*Mac OS*  through self-contained binary installers – no compilation
needed, and no external library dependencies beyond standard OS packages.

*VNL is FREE*  if you work as an*academic researcher*  at a university, college, or similar – just*fill out the form at this link to obtain a FREE perpetual license*:/http://www.quantumwise.com/free-trial/free-vnl/

Researchers and engineers working in industrial companies and government labs can purchase licenses for VNL
by contacting us at this link:/http://www.quantumwise.com/about-us/contact-us/

*- VNL is tightly integrated with Quantum Espresso*

The import/export capabilities of VNL allow you to*export structures directly to a Quantum Espresso input*.
Quantities such as*density grids*,*band structures*, and*density of states*  can be analyzed in VNL by directly*importing them from the output of a Quantum Espresso calculation*. We invite you to check our dedicated
tutorials:

- VNL as a GUI for Quantum Espresso:
/http://docs.quantumwise.com/tutorials/espresso_gui.html/

- Silicon bandstructure and DOS using VNL and Quantum Espresso:
/http://docs.quantumwise.com/tutorials/espresso_bs_dos.html/

A*full-featured scripter for Quantum Espresso*  is on its way and will be released soon, allowing you to set up
your Quantum Espresso calculations directly from within VNL! You can also tailor VNL to your specific research
needs by*writing your own Plug-in*  (see more at/http://docs.quantumwise.com/tutorials/addons.html/).

We hope you will enjoy VNL as much as our current users do! Have a look at the testimonials
and see what they say about the software:/http://quantumwise.com/products/testimonials/

Sincerely,

The QuantumWise team
