by Staff

Black Cat Systems has release version 3.5.6 of the Atomic Mac. The Atomic Mac is a periodic table of the elements on steroids for the MacOS. Version 3.5.6 is a maintenance release adding new features while addressing and correcting known bugs. According to Black Cat Systems:

This version fixes some small bugs, and starts to add alpha and beta particle energies. The Atomic Mac is a periodic table of the elements for the Macintosh. In addition to the usual information found in such programs, The Atomic Mac also contains a wealth of nuclear information on each isotope, including half life, decay mode, and daughter products. X-ray data (fluorescence and binding energies) is also available. A molecular weight calculator makes it easy to find the molecular weight of compounds. A shaded diagram showing the ranges of physical properties makes it easy to visualize relationships across the periodic table.

Data is displayed for the following physical properties:

  • Density
  • Heat of Vaporization
  • Heat of Fusion
  • Specific Heat
  • Thermal Conductivity
  • Linear Expansion Coefficient
  • Melting Point
  • Boiling Point
  • Atomic Radius
  • Covalent Radius
  • Magnetic Susceptibility
  • Electrical Resistivity
  • Electron Affinity
  • Electric Dipole Polarizability
  • State (gas, liquid, solid)
  • Photoelectric Work Function
  • Electronegativity
  • Crystal Structure

The Atomic Mac is available as shareware for US$25. Please visit the Black Cat web site for more information.
