About

This application is an interactive 3D periodic table and laboratory simulation designed to help users explore chemical elements and conduct virtual experiments. The app allows users to visualize elements in a three-dimensional space, providing an engaging way to learn about their properties and interactions. To use the app, users can navigate between two main tabs: the Periodic Table and the Experiment Workspace. In the Periodic Table tab, users can filter elements by category, state, period, and group, and select elements to view detailed information. The Experiment Workspace allows users to combine selected elements and simulate chemical reactions, visualizing the results in real-time. The application is built using modern web technologies, including TypeScript and React for the frontend, along with Three.js for 3D rendering through the React Three Fiber library. The app also utilizes various components from the @react-three/drei library to enhance the 3D experience, such as lighting, camera controls, and environment settings. Key features of the app include: - A fully interactive 3D periodic table where users can hover over elements to see their details and click to select them. - Filtering options to narrow down elements based on specific criteria. - A workspace for combining elements and running simulated chemical reactions, complete with visual feedback on the reaction process. - Detailed information panels for each element, including atomic number, symbol, atomic weight, and descriptions of their properties and uses. - Visual representations of chemical reactions, including molecular structures and energy displays. Overall, this app serves as an educational tool for students, educators, and anyone interested in chemistry, providing a unique and immersive way to learn about the elements and their interactions.
