Atom in a Box

I am they chemistry instructor and this app is immensely helpful for teaching about orbitals! PLEASE update it - it no longer works with iOS 11!

Love this visualization tool!

But it's not like there are any other applications that give hydrogen orbitals

Pretty cool, but it crashes every time on my iPod Touch.

The desktop application is unbelievable. This iPhone version doesn't do superpositions (hybrid orbitals), and doesn't do the "slice" view that I like so much either. It does rotate "with gravity" though, which is neat.

Crashes on my iphone4. No response from developer. Boooooo!!

This app takes the desktop version and brings it to iPhone, and it's just as spectacular! If you teach physics or chemistry, you NEED this app!

This application awes any viewer with its beautifully rendered imagery, elegantly capturing how the quantum mechanical universe is symmetrical and unquestionably pleasing to our aesthetic natures. The equations show the intellectual depth and inspiration that moulded these ideas, from Bohr, Heisenberg, Bohm, Pauli, Dirac, Feynman, Schrödinger, Fermi, Einstein, Yukawa, Rutherford, Landau, Klein, Gordon, and the many other countless names that have contributed to quantum mechanics / quantum field theory, a triumph of humanity's tireless efforts to comprehend nature's music. Regardless of your experience with Lagrangians, wavefunctions, eigenvalues, and the many mathematical structures that illuminates the ideas of quantum mechanics, this application will enhance a student's imagination and very probably inspire curiosity to continue learning the physics behind these dynamic images.

seriously.

This is a wonderful app that I will be sharing with my class. I would really like it to have been developed for the size of the iPad's screen size though.
