The Colourful Nuclide Chart is an online resource designed to provide accessible visualization and exploration of nuclear properties across a wide range of nuclides. It enables users to interactively view detailed information about individual nuclides, including data sourced from multiple nuclear data references. Users can search for nuclides, double-click to access more information, and select from various data properties to display, supporting both educational and research-oriented exploration of nuclear data.
A key feature of the tool is its ability to plot different nuclear quantities and visualize them using customizable color schemes. Options include varying hue, lightness, saturation, and flipping color directions, as well as forcing decay mode colors and applying logarithmic color scales. The chart supports several display engines: 2D Raster, 2D Vector, and 3D, with recommendations for most users to utilize the 2D Raster or 3D engines. The 2D Vector engine allows export to SVG or PDF vector graphics, while other formats such as PNG and GLTF (3D model) are also supported, making it suitable for generating high-quality images for publications, presentations, and outreach.
The platform offers additional visualization controls, such as showing magic numbers, nuclide or isotope labels, element names, and value displays. Users can also adjust the appearance with different font typefaces, bold or italic styles, and label sizes. Advanced features include the ability to compute single and double differences of nuclear quantities, which approximate first and second derivatives, with directionality configurable via the interface. Data can be filtered by properties such as stability, discovery year, half-life, and proton or neutron number, and users may hide unknown or estimated values as needed.
The Colourful Nuclide Chart is delivered as a web-based application and relies on external libraries including Threejs, jQuery, and ionicons. It uses cookies to store interface preferences and Google Analytics for site improvement.
Colourful Nuclide Chart sits in PulseGate's Education & learning category. It focuses on making nuclear data and nuclide properties accessible and explorable for students and researchers.
