Biomedical storytelling
During our collaboration with biologists from the SCRIPPS institute, we were fascinated by the intricate beauty of Microtubules - the scaffolding of our cells. These long, hollow tubes, found in every cell of our bodies, fulfill a variety of tasks. They act not only as a structural support, but also as highways for transporting material and signals throughout the cell. One of their fascinating features is that they constantly break down and rebuild as needed. We have produced an animation showing this phenomenon in molecular detail and in realistic speed.
3D models for life sciences
In a research project together with KAUST, Scripps Research, and TU Wien, we have created the most accurate model of a SARS-CoV-2 virion with atomic resolution. Such a model can help researchers in their effort to understand how the virus works, so that they can find ways to fight it.
Interactive rendering of very large scenes
We have developed the fastest molecular renderer in the world. It is able to display billions of atoms interactively with high visual quality. We use this renderer to show how various parts of human cells work on molecular level. In one of our latest projects, the software has been deployed to a dome theatre to creative immersive environment where the audience can dive deep into a human cell and observe the complex beauty of the molecular machinery that keeps us alive.
