About Molecular

Molecular is an interactive way to learn chemistry by doing it. Drag atoms together, snap bonds, run reactions, and watch what happens — in a real 3D scene that responds to your taps and drags. No installs, no logins, no ads.

What you can do

• Explore a curated library of molecules — water, hydrocarbons, acids, sugars, salts — and rotate them in 3D.
• Build atoms and bond them together with drag-and-snap interactions that respect real bonding rules.
• React in the lab — combine your reactants, watch animated transformations, and see the energy released.
• Run teacher-led demos with step- by-step narration tuned for elementary or advanced audiences.
• Ask the AI tutor anything about what you just made or what just happened.

Who it's for

Students from late elementary through high school who learn better by doing. Teachers looking for a 3D demonstration that runs on a phone, tablet, or smartboard. Anyone who ever wondered what a benzene ring actually looks like.

How it works

The 3D scene runs on Three.js and react-three-fiber. The chemistry engine is pure TypeScript — a small periodic-table dataset, VSEPR geometry, and a curated reactions table. Scenes auto-save to your browser and can be shared via short URLs.

The tutor streams responses from the Vercel AI Gateway, with the current scene serialized into every prompt so the answers stay grounded in what you can actually see.
