AR science visualization with Claude brings Brownian motion to a raindrop
S_Conradi · x · 2026-11-14
On a forest walk, the author spotted a raindrop on a leaf and thought of Robert Brown's 1827 observations of Brownian motion. Using Anthropic's Claude (Fable 5.2), he built an augmented-reality science visualization: at drop scale the motion needs 6000x amplification to be visible, while at the 1 µm scale of Brown's original particles it runs in real time. A neat demo of using AI for rapid scientific visualization.
