INCLUDED IN BEST OF 2014

“Few iOS apps are as thoughtfully designed as Molecules, and even fewer combine superb visuals with clear writing that encourages exploration.” – Macworld

“Molecules uses its predecessor as a springboard to further greatness.” – Stuff

Molecules by Theodore Gray is a captivating book that delves into the world of molecules, inviting readers to touch, stretch, and twist these fundamental building blocks of matter. Serving as an exceptional sequel to the bestselling book and app, The Elements, Molecules illuminates how elements come together to form the intricate web of compounds, chemicals, rocks, and various elements that shape our environment.

The highlight of the app is its groundbreaking touch-interactive molecular dynamics simulation. This innovative feature allows users to interact with numerous molecules through touch, observing their reactions firsthand. It brings to life the dynamic nature of molecules – they twist, turn, vibrate, and spin in a mesmerizing display governed by the principles of quantum mechanics.

Powered by the NAMD simulation engine developed by the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group at the University of Illinois, the app offers scientifically precise simulations that provide users with a profound understanding of molecular behavior. By engaging with these simulations, users gain insights into the intricate workings of molecules in a way that surpasses traditional learning methods on paper.

In addition to the engaging simulations, Molecules includes the full text of Theodore Gray’s book, with interactive elements that allow users to rotate objects for a comprehensive view. Going beyond its predecessor, The Elements, the app features a plethora of captivating “still life videos” that offer an up-close look at substances through interactive videos.

Key features:

• Experience touchscreen-interactive molecular dynamics for the first time
• Manipulate 348 different molecules by bending, squeezing, and shaping them using multiple fingers
• Observe how molecules react to changes in temperature by adjusting it on the app
• Access all 14 chapters of Molecules by Theodore Gray for an in-depth exploration
• Enhance your understanding of molecular movement through a dedicated chapter in the app
• View over 500 videos and rotations showcasing fascinating objects captured by Nick Mann
