A Message from Dr. JoAnn Kuchera-Morin

AlloSphere - Who we are

  • ....The AlloSphere: it's a three-story metal sphere in an echo-free chamber.

    Think of the AlloSphere as a large, dynamically varying digital microscope that's connected to a supercomputer. Twenty (20) researchers can stand on a bridge suspended inside of the sphere, and be completely immersed in their data. Imagine if a team of physicists could stand inside of an atom and watch and hear electrons spin.

    Imagine if a group of sculptors could be inside of a lattice of atoms and sculpt with their material.Imagine if a team of surgeons could fly into the brain, as though it was a world, and see tissues as landscapes, and hear blood density levels as music. This is some of the research that you're going to see that we're undertaking at the AlloSphere.
