Search any molecule and spin its three-dimensional structure, with spectra and crystal data alongside it.
Opens in a new tab. We do not control this site and it may have changed since we catalogued it.
MolView sits in Science Toys under Learn, and we have it filed as a minute — one quick round, then you can leave. It reads as brainy, beautiful and useful.
Simulations you can meddle with: orbits, evolution, chemistry, cellular automata. Understanding through interference rather than through reading.
Ben Eater's flocking simulation with the three rules exposed as sliders, so you can break the flock deliberately.
A stocked chemistry bench in the browser where you can mix reagents and get it badly wrong at no cost.
Interactive models of what complexity science likes best — epidemics, flocking, synchronisation, forest fires.
Home of Conway's Game of Life — pattern archive, wiki and a board for setting your own cells running.
An explorable on how ideas and riots spread through a social network, with the contagion thresholds under your control.
A graphing calculator good enough that people make art with it — type a function and drag its parameters about.
Build a circuit and watch current move through it as coloured dots, with an oscilloscope available on any node.
A toy about synchronisation — a few hundred blinking dots that agree on a rhythm with no conductor anywhere.
