A new perspective paper argues that 2D screens are holding back chemical research, proposing a shift to immersive 'Molecular Holodecks' where scientists can physically manipulate atomic structures. This evolution from passive viewing to active, haptic interaction aims to align scientific tools with human spatial cognition.
