=== NCN@Northwestern Tool Support ===

We have identified a list of tools for which we commit the following level of service:
 * monitor support tickets, questions, and wishlists and provide a response within 24 hours.
 * fix simple bugs within a week.
 * move long term projects and tool improvement requests to a public wish list.
The overall support structure and philosophy of the NCN and nanoHUB is [/topics/NCNSupportedTools described in a different page].

=== NCN@Northwestern Supported Educational Tools===
 * [/tools/nuitns NUITNS] is our "Northwestern Initiative for Teaching !NanoScience" consistent of 4 different tools.  All the tools in NUITNS are fully supported:
  * [/tools/tedvis Theoretical Electron Density Visualizer] - TEDVis calculates and displays 3D maps of molecular ED and its derivatives from the wave function
  * [/tools/molst Molecular Structure Tracer] - High-quality display of molecular structures
  * [/tools/uvspec UV/Vis Spectrum simulator] - Molecular electronic spectra
  * [/tools/cndo CNDO/INDO]  - Semi-empirical Molecular Orbital calculations

 * [/tools/nsoptics NanoSphere Optics Lab] - Optical properties of nanospheres suspended in water, air, or other solutions
 
 * [/tools/nsoptics3D Nanosphere Optics Lab Field Simulator] - Study of the Electric field induced by Light-Nanoparticle interaction.

 * [/tools/qclab Quantum Chemistry Lab]

=== NCN@Northwestern Supported Research Tools===
 * [/tools/pnppeptide  PNP Cyclic Peptide Ion Channel Model] - Simulate ion flow in a system modeled after cyclic peptide ion channels using Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) theory.
 * Coarse-Grain Lipid Simulator.
 * Active Media FDTD !NanoPhotonic Device Simulator.
