Nanoinformatics
Nanoinformatics is the science and practice of determining which information is relevant to the nanoscale science and engineering community, while developing and implementing effective mechanisms for collecting, validating, storing, sharing, analyzing, and applying that information. Nanoinformatics also involves the utilization of networked communication tools to launch and support efficient communities of practice. Nanoinformatics is necessary for intelligent development and comparative characterization of nanomaterials, for design and use of optimized nanodevices and nanosystems, and for development of advanced instrumentation and manufacturing processes. Nanoinformatics also fosters efficient scientific discovery and learning through data mining and machine learning techniques.
