Cyberinfrastructure-enabled Virtual Environment

Caption

This rendering depicts how Purdue is operating a "cyberinfrastructure-enabled" virtual environment that enables scientists and engineers to interpret data from instruments called dynamic atomic force microscopes. More than 300 researchers from around the world have used the "virtual environment for dynamic atomic force microscopy," or VEDA, since it went online about a year ago. The software tools, provided through Purdue's nanoHub, represent a research trend, and tools for other applications also are being developed.
