With luck in about a week a new exhibit on nanotechnology will roll out at the Epcot Center in Florida. One of the three centerpieces is called "Touch a Molecule" and involves absolutely cutting edge Jmol. We have infinite tours through silicon and quartz crystals and liquid water featuring:

Bummer. I'm running 1.6.0_06 without a problem for the standalone version and "Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_18 for Mozilla browsers" for the plug in, which I just installed yesterday. Maybe it's just a bug in 1.6.0_17. Bob On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 5:15 PM, Richard Shafer wrote: > I am runn

Takes some getting used to. Basically: 1) You can define little local xyz frames based on any three atoms. 2) You can use "differences" of quaternions -- q1/q2 -- to determine relative orientation. 3) You can use quaternions in rotation commands in Jmol. I think the best demo of this is http://ch

Thank you for that detailed explanation of quaternions, Bob! This is the first time I've actually been able to picture how to utilize them in a general way. (guess I just needed a different explanation) -Tom On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 7:09 AM, Robert Hanson wrote: > Otis, > 1) It works like a
