Following discussions last week about the ability to display C60 on the web, Cherwell Scientific Publishing announce a pre-release version of ChemSymphony the new Java-based structure viewer showing C60 as one of the example molecules. ChemSymphony is a platform-independent set of interactive Java applets that allows 3-D molecular structures to be easily incorporated into HTML documents. Visit http://www.cherwell.com/cherwell/chemsymphony/ where there is an example of Buckminsterfullerene demonstrating the potential for web based chemistry using Java. The ChemSymphony developer, Anatoli Krassavine, has created the applets to offer easy and attractive chemistry functions for the new generation of Java-enabled browsers. ChemSymphony brings molecular modelling into hypertext documents used in both research and the classroom. ChemSymphony was recently featured at the ACS meeting in Orlando where Anatoli presented an electronic poster describing the features and fucntions of ChemSymphony. The growth of the Internet and intranets has already made electronic publication much easier and Java tools like ChemSymphony will make the user-interaction much simpler and more worthwhile. A demonstration of ChemSymphony is available from Cherwell Scientific's web site and the application will soon be available for downloading. Comments and feedback for future enhancements are invited.
