Research Article Template




A modern, interactive template for scientific writing that brings papers to life with web-native features. The web offers what static PDFs can't: interactive diagrams, progressive notation, and exploratory views that show how ideas behave. This template treats interactive artifactsโfigures, math, code, and inspectable experimentsโas first-class alongside prose, helping readers build intuition instead of skimming resultsโall with minimal setup and no web knowledge required.
