A .NWO file is a NWChem Output File, created by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

Open with NWChem. Available for Linux, Windows, and Mac.

What is a .NWO file?

The .NWO file is a type of chemical file. It is created by a computer program called NWChem. NWChem is special software used by scientists to study chemicals and molecules. When they run a simulation, which is like a computer experiment, the results are saved in a .NWO file. This file can include information like how the electrons are arranged around a molecule.

To open a .NWO file, you can use the NWChem program itself, since it's the one that creates these files. Another program that can open .NWO files is called Avogadro. Avogadro is also used for studying molecules, but it can work with many different types of chemical files, including .NWO.

NWChem is a very powerful tool that usually runs on very big and powerful computers, like supercomputers or a group of computers working together, known as a workstation cluster. This is because studying molecules in this detailed way requires a lot of computer power.

The software was made by a team of scientists at the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, which is part of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. This shows that NWChem is a serious tool for scientific research, used by professionals in the field.
