This platform deploys an original concept to structure knowledge in fields as diverse as nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanomanufacturing by process, structure, and function. Our aim is to build a structured knowledge platform for nanomaterials development that enables the just-in-time utilization of various types of knowledge on the frontlines of materials design and manufacture. By fusing our unique knowledge with the latest in IT, the platform will offer a new way of managing knowledge.
