  • Molecular Orbitals: Managlyph leverages the versatile 'Atom Bond Object' (ABO) file format, a powerful tool for embedding and managing multiple atomistic structures. These files can encapsulate complex details, such as molecular geometries, chemical bonding, and even molecular orbitals represented as isosurfaces. This flexibility allows for the seamless integration and visualization of intricate structural and electronic properties, making it an invaluable resource for advanced scientific modeling and analysis.

    molecular orbitals

  • Atomic Orbitals: Create, project, and rotate atomic orbitals up to the 4f subshell, providing an unparalleled opportunity to explore the intricate details of atomic structures. This capability allows users to visualize and analyze the shapes, orientations, and complexities of orbitals in 3D, offering a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics and atomic interactions.
