Scientific Visualization with Mac OS X

spectatorion writes "O'Reilly is running this article by quantum chemist Drew McCormack about developing scientific visualization applications using Mac OS X. From the article, 'For those of you not familiar with VTK, it is to visualization what Cocoa is to application development: VTK provides a high-level object-oriented framework which allows you to easily visualize 3D data sets without having to write any low-level OpenGL code.' Definitely a good read for any scientists trying to develop for Mac OS X."

Quantum chemist? by Graff · 2003-02-13 10:20 · Score: 1, Funny

I don't know, when I saw the term "quantum chemist" I thought that maybe he was atom-sized and played golf with electrons. Either that or maybe he was stuck leaping through space in time...

I know, I know, quantum chemistry is a genuine branch of science. I'm a chemist myself but I still can't help getting that image of that tiny little chemist taking a nap inside the s1 orbital of a hydrogen atom.
