MadSci 3D Molecule Viewer Bring chemistry to life directly in your browser. The MadSci 3D Molecule Viewer is a lightweight, high-performance Chrome extension designed for students, researchers, and chemistry enthusiasts. Instead of switching tabs to search for molecular structures, you can now visualize the 3D spatial arrangement of any compound with a single right-click. Core Features: Instant Context-Menu Visualization: Simply highlight the name of a chemical compound on any webpage (Wikipedia, research journals, or lab reports) and select "View 3D Structure." Persistent Side Panel: Using the latest Manifest V3 Side Panel API, your molecular models stay visible as you scroll, allowing for easy reference without obscuring your reading material. Interactive 3D Rendering: Powered by the industry-standard 3Dmol.js library. Rotate, zoom, and pan to inspect molecular geometry, bond angles, and stereochemistry. Professional CPK Coloring: Standardized atomic color-coding (Carbon: Gray, Oxygen: Red, Nitrogen: Blue, etc.) for immediate recognition of functional groups. Public Domain Data: Leverages the massive NIH PubChem database to provide accurate 3D coordinates for millions of compounds. Perfect For: Organic Chemistry Students: Better understand chirality, R/S configurations, and steric hindrance. Researchers: Quickly verify structures mentioned in academic papers. Mad Scientists: Because sometimes you just need to see exactly how those atoms are bonded together before your next experiment. Privacy & Performance: Lightweight: Built with a "one-tool, one-job" philosophy to ensure your browser stays fast. Privacy-Focused: No user tracking. We only fetch the specific molecule you request directly from the official NIH servers.
