The simulated annealing approach to structure solution from powder diffraction data, as implemented in the DASH program, is easily amenable to parallelization at the individual run level. Modest increases in speed of execution can therefore be achieved by executing individual DASH runs on the individual cores of CPUs.

Long-range quasiperiodic patterns are found in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) on top of the atomic images of six-membered carbon rings of the outer tubes. By comparing the results of first-principles calculations on model DWNTs, we conclude that they are moir\'e pa…
