It will also render artistic visualizations of geometric figures, interactive visualizations, and animated displays.
Now DeLano Scientific has upped the ante by lowering the cost of quality scientific tools to the monetary equivalent of Absolute Zero: as in "free." Its PyMOL is a free Open Source molecular viewing engine, rendering tool, and editor that can visualize 3D molecular structure down to the atomic level, including the X-ray crystallographic structure of proteins, DNA, RNA, carbohydrates, metabolites, sugars, and much more. But more and more research-quality software is showing up at affordable prices. You'd need a research grant to afford most science-worthy tools, though, and an advanced degree to use them. The favor's since been returned: 3D graphics have revolutionized scientific visualization. The needs of science sparked the development of the electronic computer, which led to the PC and today's multimedia-driven world.
