The Nuclear Rotor Atlas Explorer
by Stephen Euin Cobb
A 3D, interactive view of 780 nuclei along the valley of stability.
Each point is an isotope; you choose which derived metrics appear on the X, Y, and Z axes.
Interactive 3D chart (demo)
What you see above is a rotating three-dimensional chart of 780
nuclei selected from along the valley of stability. Each dot in the chart is an isotope,
and the values for each of the three axes are adjustable by the user. The video displays
some of the features you can experiment with.

The dataset used to create this 3-D chart was calculated by Stephen Euin Cobb for his
Nuclear Rotor Atlas. The Nuclear Rotor Atlas dataset is open-source and is available
for download. You are free to use it, model from it, quote it in your papers, and
improve it. Most especially, to improve it.
