This is my favorite screensaver ever, although I have nothing to do with chemistry. But even for the ignorant it can be a great joy to plunge into the universe of atoms and elements.
The universe is boundless, but when we think of it, we normally imagine the vastness of sky and innumerable galaxies. But it works the other way too! If you tune in your mental microscope and turn your attention to the infinitesimal you will discover another infinity, another universe seemingly opposite to the common one, but essentially the same! The planets, satellites, asteroids, galaxies and orbits in one universe are the atoms, nucleuses, protons and electrons in the other. So we are surrounded by and consisting of the innumerable galaxies of absolutely unique elements, which means we are fundamentally infinite - literally!
But let's get back to the product. It is colorful, gentle in movements and accompanied by perfectly matching music. Apart from being an elaborate and quite unique gateway to the elements universe for anyone, it is a perfect gift for those interested in chemistry at any level. Especially if you use those truly innovative keyboard controls. F1 will get you the menu of all the keyboard option, F2 - detailed info on the particular element and F3 will show you the whole Mendeleev Table, where you can pick an element by cursor and get short and full info on it. With keyboard and mouse controls you are master of the screen, moreover, from the control (configuration) panel you can change all the parameters, no need to name them all.
Do not miss the presets - you can choose it to be scientific, artistic, meditative and many more and every time you change the preset it seems you have got a new screensaver with different color gammas, motion settings, etc. Overall it has the most sophisticated and at the same time friendly control scheme I ever met.
I could only sincerely recommend you this fascinating product to anyone.
