Description
Hanwell, Curtis, Lonie, and co-authors present Avogadro, an advanced chemical editor and display platform. The project built a molecule editor designed for cross-platform use in chemistry, model work, biology, and materials science. It offers flexible, high-quality rendering of structures.
A powerful plugin system lets users extend the editor for new tasks and file types. Free, fine tools matter because paid chemistry software can be costly for schools and small labs. It became a common teaching and research workbench for building and inspecting molecules. Students learn molecular modelling on it because the full program costs nothing.
