It's no secret that scientific datasets are getting larger, and therefore more difficult to ingest, clean, and analyze.

These processes, collectively known as “data wrangling,” present major obstacles for researchers attempting to harness the power of big data to accelerate scientific breakthroughs.

Hence the need for advanced visualization, an increasingly valuable tool for researchers in developing a comprehensive understanding of their experiments and simulations and assisting them in communicating new findings effectively.
