Stunning data visualization in the AlloSphere

A three-story metal sphere called the AlloSphere lets researchers step inside massive, interactive, 3D scientific visualizations. Teams can witness brain activity as music, sculpt atomic lattices, and even hear the unique sounds of elements. By blending art, science, and engineering, this platform reveals patterns and connections hidden in complex data. Researchers have already spotted new atomic bonds and gained insights into quantum mathematics through these sensory experiences.
