Do You Speak MATLAB?
Over one million people around the world speak MATLAB. Engineers and scientists in every field from aerospace and semiconductors to biotech, financial services, and earth and ocean sciences use it to express their ideas.
Mars Global Surveyor Altitude Data, Projected on a Sphere
We work with a medium-resolution data set from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) to create a continuous image of the planet’s surface. MOLA, an instrument aboard NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor, collected 27 million elevation measurements in 1998 and 1999.

Quantitative High-Throughput Gene Expression Imaging
We use automated image processing algorithms to replace the time-consuming visual inspection of fruit fly embryos stained with fluorescently tagged antibodies, and to quantify spatial patterns of the expression of developmental genes.

Modeling Electric Potential in Quantum Dot
This 3-D plot shows the electrical potential around six quantum dots biased with 2 to 3 V. We use MATLAB to solve the Laplace equation for these quantum dots and visualize the results.

Studying the Sun's Atmosphere
Solar image taken by the X-Ray Telescope. XRT was launched on the Hinode spacecraft, a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency mission. The team used MATLAB for data-reduction algorithms that remove artifacts during vibration tests.
