· WebElements by Mark Winter, University of Sheffield, is the best periodic table database on the www. You can get atomic radii, electrochemical reduction potentials, chemical properties and much much more just by clicking on an element.

· google is the most generally useful search www engine.

· Supplementary material for the Rayner-Canham text is useful for many of the assigned problems from that textbook.

Old recommendations from Prof. Toreki

Kali is a program to draw Escher-like tilings, infinite knots, and other cool stuff. It lets you draw patterns in all of the 17 planar symmetry groups. To learn more about symmetry groups, take a look at the Geometry and the Imagination course notes (with pictures)

Roald Hoffman's home page at Cornell University.

Solid State Structures at Oklahoma State. This site has a nice review of cubic solid state structures including text, pictures and even movies! Some of these movies are several hundred K, so be sure you're using a fast Internet connection!!

Cool zeolite and gallium phosphate pictures From Tony Cheetham's group at UCSB

Superconductor structures From John McDevitt's group at the University of Texas at Austin.

Searching for something on the web? The Lycos Homepage is the place to go. Enter keywords and away you go! Give it a whirl!

Spinels are a cool class of magnetic materials. Here are some interesting spinel sites...

· Learn about the Burma spinel, including comparisons to ruby and other interesting things about gemstones.

· Magnetite is another member of the spinel class of materials (these two links are a little slow).

Electricity and magnetism University of California at Berkeley

National High magnetic Field Laboratory Check them out

Metal Oxide Aerogel Catalysts at Lawrence Livermore National Lab are wild.

Oak Ridge National LabFind out what they are doing with high T_C superconductors.

Zeolite link at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.

Korean Research Institute of Standards and Science Very cool superconductivity page.

Ceramics, superconductivity, batteries, electrooptical materials and more

FishNetwhich describes itself as a " gathering place for teenagers (and, we acknowledge, interested parents and educators)". A fun place to explore. Don't miss the weird fact of the day.

Zeolite site with some neat pictures, such as the channels in ZSM-5.

Comprehensive zeolite web site at the University of Manchester, which includes a Molecular Seive Database and all sorts of info from synthesis to applications.

Biomaterials at the University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands, which includes links to other biomaterial sites.

Blue-green lasers at the National Media Laboratory (NML), an industry resource supporting the U.S. Government in the evaluation, development, and deployment of advanced storage media and systems.
