Creating Cartoon 3D Atoms on Adobe Illustrator
A very brief video on how to quickly create nice cartoon-like 3D atoms using Adobe Illustrator and how to easily edit and re-use them in the future.
The inspiration for this video came from this Nature Materials News & Views article by Miao, H. & Halász, G.B. "Structural tweaking of 2D quantum magnetism," Nat. Mater. (2022). (Link: https://rdcu.be/c1LGi)
Based on original research from folks from the Wake Forest Univ, Univ of Michigan, and Univ of Waterloo: Yang, B., Goh, Y.M., Sung, S.H. et al. "Magnetic anisotropy reversal driven by structural symmetry-breaking in monolayer α-RuCl3," Nat. Mater. (2022).(Link: https://rdcu.be/c1LGw)
