What is it about?

Nanomaterials are a diverse set of materials and representing their composition and structure in a way that both humans and computers can read adn understand is challenging. The scientific community has reached concensus on how to do this for small molecules, via the Internatioanal Chemical Identifier (InChI) and here we propose an first approach for extension of the InChI standard for nanomaterials, that allows their composition, structure and other key features to be reported systematically. Such a nanomaterials InChI or NInChI would support increased finadabiliyt, accessibility, interoperability and re-usability (FAIRness) of data related to nanomaterials.
