On-line math tool: Mathematica Alpha

System Administrator Sunday 07 of March, 2010
Wolfram, the maker of Mathematica, has a new online tool that provides an amazing amount of data on materials and chemicals that can be used as a handy reference tool. The tool is called Mathematica Alpha. You can enter queries like:
The image below is an example output from the tool and is the 3D structure of Pentacene. Pentacene is a p-type organic semiconductor with a bandgap of around 1.8eV. You can also use the tool to evaluate equations. It's a very powerful online tool.

I would like to point out the Mathematica is also available for students (spectacular value $140), and there is a home version of all you closet mathematicians (you know who you/we are :-) for $295). The full version is $2495.
