Encyclopedia Nanotech
Also known as The Nanotech Dictionary
Interdisciplinary nanotechnology requires thoroughly defined and re-defined terms. This encyclopedia serves the function of defining terms and then expanding upon how these words are used in nanotechnology. Each entry in this encyclopedia includes links to related words and detailed articles where the word is used in various contexts of nanotechnology. * Starred entries are illustrated.
