Chemiscope: interactive structure-property explorer for materials and molecules

Chemiscope is an graphical tool for the interactive exploration of materials and molecular databases, correlating local and global structural descriptors with the physical properties of the different systems; as well as a library of re-usable components useful to create new interfaces.
