Atom in a Box on the iPhone High-Performance 3D Physics Visualization on the Next-Gen Computing Platform
Dauger Research, Inc., proudly introduces Atom in a Box for the iPhone. The popular, award-winning Atom in a Box educational and scientific software uses 3D real-time volumetric raytracing to present what the Hydrogen atom "looks" like. By presenting the Hydrogenic atomic orbitals in an intuitive user interface, Atom in a Box stimulates appreciation of the aesthetic in science yet portrays its subject faithfully, appealing to all from children to Nobel laureates. Long available on the Mac, Atom in a Box is available today internationally via Apple's new App Store for the iPod Touch and the iPhone.
"Atom in a Box was a side project while I was a physics graduate student at UCLA", says Dr. Dean Dauger, President of Dauger Research, Inc. "I wanted to 'see' an atom for myself, imagining that I could touch a quantum orbital. Now we can get even closer to holding an atom using a handheld multitouch device like the iPhone. We are grateful for all the wonderful feedback from people about Atom in a Box, so we hope to share our fascination with science renewed in the next computing generation."
"Dean Dauger's marvelous 'Atom in a Box' shows the lovely, almost sensuous patterns of undulating waves that describe the possible states of that simplest of atoms, Hydrogen. I hope you will explore 'Atom in a Box' for yourself." - 2004 Physics Nobel Laureate and Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at MIT Frank Wilczek
Winner in Computers In Physics' Ninth Annual Educational Software Contest, Atom in a Box applies highly-optimized code to directly calculate the otherwise unwieldy quantum mechanical wavefunction of an electron while it occupies any of the 140 eigenstates up to the n=7 energy level of the Hydrogen atom. The app integrates these complex values using Simpson's Rule through a path in 3D space to generate pixel brightnesses. Via the iPhone's multitouch interface and accelerometer, the user can reorient and interact with the atomic orbital. The software is even able to show the "flow" of the electron around the orbital by presenting the time-evolving phase of the wavefunction as color.
Atom in a Box is available today for US$9.99 via Apple's new App Store for the iPod Touch and the iPhone. See the App Store for price and availability outside the U.S.
Profiled and honored on national television by the William Shatner-hosted "Keeping America Strong" show, Dauger Research, Inc. makes high-performance computation and visualization easy to use and accessible to users. Our award-winning team, to better accomplish our scientific goals, reinvented the cluster computer ten years ago, pioneering easy-to-use, high-performance clusters. Dauger Research, Inc., is committed to bridging the divides between the scientifically and technically complex and the mainstream.

Magnetism Studios announces four iPhone Apps
Magnetism Studios has announced four new applications for Apple's iPhone. They include FileMagnet, which enables users to easily copy and view desktop files and documents on the iPhone and iPod touch. It views Microsoft Office documents, PDFs, images, movies, songs and more, while allowing the user to navigate and zoom with the touch of a finger.
Users copy files to the phone from their Mac using a special application called FileMagnet Uploader. Instead of connecting via cables, it uses Apple's Bonjour networking technology to enable document transfer via the iPhone's WiFi connection. FileMagnet is on sale for $5 USD, available on the iPhone App Store today.
"FileMagnet is a useful tool for iPhone users on the go," said Joshua Keay, Magnetism's President. "Whether you need to take a word processing file with you, get some reading in on the airplane or quickly take a folder of project files, it helps make the iPhone an even more powerful device for users."
Magnetism will be launching four iPhone applications this week, ranging from productivity to reference and entertainment. Also offered is CityTransit, a comprehensive guide to the New York City subway and other mass transit systems. The initial version of CityTransit is focused on New York City, offering official maps licensed from the city's Metropolitan Transit Agency. In addition to zoomable, scrollable maps, live service advisories are be integrated in the application, along with a GPS-based station finder to allow users to quickly find their way to the nearest station. Guides to other cities are in development and will be offered as free upgrades to the product. CityTransit will cost $3 USD in the iPhone App store.
In the entertainment category, Magnetism is proud to offer TileSudoku, which presents the popular game with an innovative interface designed specifically for touchscreens. TileSudoku enhances the gameplay experience further by offering rich rendered graphics, animations and stereo sound effects. Magnetism has also designed tools to speed up gameplay by providing in-line hints about tile placement and feedback on successfully completed boards. TileSudoku will cost $5 USD on the App Store.
Mr. Shuffle is the second entertainment tile Magnetism is offering for the iPhone. Mr. Shuffle is an interactive face making toy that lets users arrange cartoon eyes, noses and mouths into funny faces. Using the iPhone's built-in camera, users can take pictures of friends and enhance them with strange noses, giant glasses, and funny captions. It offers over 50 built-in facial features, and allows the users to save multiple pages of faces for editing later or to save the images to the Photo Roll on the device. Mr. Shuffle will cost $3 USD in the App Store.

Chopper available from iTunes App Store
Majic Jungle Software has released Chopper, their action packed side-scrolling helicopter game, for iPhone and iPod Touch. Chopper is a side-scrolling helicopter game. Complete your mission and return to base, while avoiding enemy fire from tanks and bazooka wielding mad men. Play through a total of sixty levels across three difficulties. Tilt to fly, and touch the screen to drop bombs or fire the machine gun.
For a limited time there is also an emulator available for Mac OS X that renders a 3D iPhone with Chopper playable on the screen. The emulator runs a demo version featuring the first eight levels of Chopper on the easiest difficulty setting.
Chopper was originally released as an entry in 2003's game development competition 'uDevGame'. It received many awards including best in gameplay and placed second overall. Since then Chopper has had many improvements with levels added and a complete overhaul of graphics and sound.
Chopper for the iPhone was completely re-written from scratch to take advantage of the unique characteristics of the device. It features many of the same levels as in the original, and has the same game-play but with many small changes to better fit the iPhone.
Jets and the time limit have been removed, and many game elements have been tweaked to provide an easier learning curve initially, but add a lot more challenge in the later levels. Unlike the original it is also now possible to save your game at any point, and the game can quit at a moments notice and come right back in where it left off.
Chooper is available right now for $7.99 USD from the App Store. It will run on any iPhone or iPod Touch. The demo for Mac requires Mac OS X 10.5.
