VisualComplexity.com A visual exploration on mapping complex networks

Leverage a critical understanding of different visualization methods, across a series of disciplines, as diverse as Biology, Social Networks or the World Wide Web. "In VC, the reader is just as likely to come across a representation of a protein network, as they would be to see a map of a subway or a social interaction."

Omnipresent structureThe brain is a network of nerve cells connected by axons, and cells themselves are networks of molecules connected by biochemical reactions. Societies are networks of people linked by friendships, familial relationships and professional ties. On a larger scale, food webs and ecosystems can be represented as networks of species. And networks pervade technology: the Internet, power grids and transportation systems are but a few examples.

Mouseʼs Neuronal Network (2006) Millennium Simulation (2005) The largest and most realistic simulation ever of the growth of cosmic structure and the formation of galaxies and quasars. It was able to recreate evolutionary histories for approximately 20 million galaxies in 25 Terabytes of stored output.
