We encourage researchers, visual designers, and educators to upload and share their works to demonstrate the creative potential of ChemBlender. Through collective contribution, we hope to promote broader participation in its application and development, and to advance the progress of scientific visualization.

Similar to carbon nanotubes, MoS₂ nanotubes can also adopt zig-zag, arm-chair, and chiral structures, depending on the rolling direction of the MoS₂ layers, which significantly influence their electronic and mechanical properties.
As shown in the figure, the side views and axial views of different MoS₂ nanotubes were modeled and rendered using the Chem Nodes preset node groups. The chiral indices of (a)–(c) are (6,6), (8,4), and (10,0), respectively.
To enhance the clarity of the side view, a segmented alpha value was applied during rendering to gradually fade out the rear structure.
