Physicists now deal with petabytes (one million gigabytes) of data on a regular basis. The research community is turning to visualising software to extract meaning from all of that information.
This month, the New Journal of Physics celebrates the stunning results of that process, with a series of images from the very small – the internal structure of bone – to the very large – the collision between two neighbouring galaxies.
