PIXLISE | geoscience and spectroscopy analysis at the speed of thought PIXLISE is a geoscience visualization and analysis tool, revolutionizing the speed and flexiblity of geoscience workflows for micro-XRF and reflectance spectroscopy

This is a win for #hci and #design driving scientific discovery. My team created pixlise.org a visual analytics tool at the center of this discovery.
