Cherwell Scientific

This applet from Cherwell Scientific is part of a suite of applets for visualizing molecules and processing chemistry data. The suite is evolving rapidly to become a powerful, general-purpose, toolbox for chemistry on the World Wide Web.

Adam Hodgkin, the company founder, believes that Java technology is the big new frontier in scientific software: "Technical experts often talk about Java technology as another computer language, but it appears to us that its key importance is that this is the language that will facilitate network-based computing."

(Cherwell Scientific also offers JavaBeans components for use in building Chemistry intranets, as explained on the Cherwell Web site.)
