Molecular Worm Algorithm

Caption

This figure shows a molecular worm representing a butane molecule as it navigates through the chemical labyrinth of a typical alkane-cracking zeolite. The alogorithm was used to compute the shortest path for the butane molecule to traverse one unit of the periodic zeolite structure.
