Common questions
answered
NanoStack Lab is an open‑source platform focused on nanotechnology, chemistry apps, scientific software, FTIR analysis, and intelligent lab automation. All tools are free and built for Python/Java environments.
Yes — MIT, Apache 2.0, and GPL licensed. No license keys, no hidden fees. Use them in research, teaching, or commercial projects.
Python 3.9+ and Java 11+. We provide PyQt6, pandas, numpy, scipy, matplotlib, and Java APIs for enterprise integrations.
pip install corro-sim or git clone https://github.com/nanostack-lab/specatr. Full docs in each repository.
MIT / Apache modules allow commercial integration. GPL modules require derivative work to stay open source. Always check the license file.
