-# A Set of Tutorials for the LAMMPS Simulation Package
-
-This article introduces a suite of tutorials designed to make learning LAMMPS
-more accessible to new users.
-
-## Tutorials
-
-- Tutorial 1: Lennard-Jones fluid
-- Tutorial 2: Pulling on a carbon nanotube
-- Tutorial 3: Polymer in water
-- Tutorial 4: Nanosheared electrolyte
-- Tutorial 5: Reactive silicon dioxide
-- Tutorial 6: Water adsorption in silica
-- Tutorial 7: Free energy calculation
-- Tutorial 8: Reactive Molecular Dynamics
-
-## Input files
-
-All the input files from the tutorials can be found in the 
-[**files/**](files/) folder. The Python scripts used to generate the plots 
-are also provided.
-
-For each tutorial, a `.manifest` file lists all the files required to 
-follow the tutorial. These files can be downloaded from the LAMMPS-GUI by 
-selecting `Start Tutorial X`. The solutions to the tutorials are provided 
-within the solution repository located in each tutorial folder.
-
-## PDF
-
-Access the last version of the `.pdf` from
-[the Actions tab](https://github.com/lammpstutorials/lammpstutorials-article/actions/runs/12458522247/artifacts/2354075042) here on GitHub,
-or clone this repository and compile the `.tex` file yourself by typing in a terminal:
-
-```
-make
-```
-This will generate the `.pdf` version of the tutorial. Ensure you have LaTeX and the necessary dependencies installed on your system before attempting to compile.
-
-## Contributing
-
-We welcome contributions to improve the tutorials. If you encounter any issues, have suggestions, or want to ask questions, please open an issue in this repository. You can also contribute by submitting a pull request to improve the tutorials or fix any bugs.
-Your feedback and contributions help make the tutorials more useful for everyone.
