Abstract

Crystallographic databases for inorganic materials that are freely accessible over the internet are reviewed. The Nano-Crystallography Database project is described. Instructions are given on how to visualize in three dimensions the atomic arrangements of the several thousand entries of the Crystallography Open Database.
