MXWLL makes complex things comprehensible. We're an independent design studio working at the intersection of data, science, and visual storytelling - building interactive visualisations, illustrations, and design systems for the ideas that are hardest to explain.

Stellar Cartography

50,000 stars from the GAIA catalogue

Chart of Nuclides

From the familiar periodic table to the vast landscape of 3,300+ atomic species. An interactive explorer that reveals what makes atoms stable or unstable - and why it matters.

Gravitational Wave Detection

On 14 September 2015, two black holes collided. LIGO caught the signal - barely. This interactive recreates the moment of discovery, from raw noise to the chirp that confirmed Einstein was right.

The Permissible Universe

A map of everything that can exist - from quarks to supermassive black holes. Explore 200+ cosmic objects positioned according to fundamental physical limits. The boundaries show where nature draws the line.
