Abstract

Nucleation processes are fundamental in many technological fields. However, the lack of effective, collaborative tools has slowed discovery in these fields. This paper outlines our work to visualize nucleation data in two ways to assist researchers seeking to learn more about nucleation processes. We created a similarity network to allow researchers to study similarities between nucleation structures easily. In addition, we developed tools to allow researchers to visualize aggregate molecular structures. To facilitate collaborative work over distance with low cost, these visualizations are web based, interactive, and can run on commodity machines. Though this paper focuses on similarity of molecular structures, this research can be applied to any network or graph visualization.
