NEC Corporation announced today that it succeeded in the world's first simulation-based prediction of laser-induced photochemical reactions that can efficiently eject a hydrogen atom from a hydrogen chloride molecule trapped inside a carbon nanotube. The simulation was conducted on the "Earth Simulator," which NEC deployed for the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, an independent administrative organization.
