    "HOOMD-blue is a Python package that performs Molecular Dynamics and hard particle Monte Carlo simulations. HOOMD-blue is general and can be used to model nanoparticles, bead-spring polymers, active mater, and many other types of systems. This tutorial introduces the core concepts in HOOMD-blue using hard particle self-assembly as an example. Later tutorials will expand on these concepts for other types of simulations.\n",
