WolframAlpha, Your research resource tool. 2 years 36 weeks ago

Four Months ago, around about May, Wolfram|Alpha launched as a search engine for structured data. Wolfram Alpha, founded by Stephen Wolfram, is designed around good old-fashioned computing. Of course, other search engines have been computing for years. But WolframAlpha is slightly different. It’s young and ambitious and I suspect will go a long way.

Wolfram Alpha is the brainchild of British-born physicist Stephen Wolfram. Our goal is to make expert knowledge accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Like interacting with an expert, it will understand what you're talking about, do the computation, and then present you with the results. Wolfram Alpha is like plugging into a vast electronic brain, it computes answers - it doesn't merely look them up in a big database.

The Elements-

With this revolutionary app, The Elements lets you view the entire periodic table. When you select an element, you are shown information and a sort of movie to represent the chosen element. The second page consists of realistic icons of the chosen element. By choosing one of those icons, you get view of the details, which can also be seen using 3D glasses. The details allow the user to connect to Wolfram Alpha for real-time data. Here, you can view current prices of gold or even scan thermodynamic properties of antimony.
