Still more than four years away, the Winter Games in Turin will begin being stamped with a light blue arrangement of crystal shapes that melds into a pattern that either resembles the Italian city's tallest building, the Mole, a twisting evergreen tree, or a ski jump track.

The problems studied include adsorption-desorption phenomena, surface diffusion of adatoms and clusters, adatom-adatom interactions, step motion, equilibrium crystal shape, etc . However, there is the possibility of the results being affected by the limited surface area ( i . e . edge effects ) and by the presence of large electric field.

Each node has a crystal shape and can deliver particles to 15 nodes : each of the 6 neighboring nodes that share a surface, the 8 neighboring nodes sharing a corner, and itself . ( The D3Q15 model does not contain particles moving to the 12 neighboring nodes that share an edge; adding those would create a " D3Q27 " model .)
