App for visualizing the structure of matter

Crystallography is a branch of science that examines crystals. Today we know that crystals are made of matter, atoms, molecules and/or ions that fit together in repeating patterns, called unit cells, which like bricks stacked in three dimensions form the crystals.

The atomic structure of matter generates knowledge that is used by chemists, physicists, biologists, and other scientists. This allows us not only to understand the properties of matter, but also to modify them for our benefit.

The app makes it easier for students and teachers to visualise all geometrical details (interatomic distances, bond angles, etc.) of molecules, even for complex substances.
