NanoPharos: making nanomaterials data easier to find, use, and trust

In March’s Nanopinion, Antreas Afantitis, Iseult Lynch, and Anastasios Papadiamantis introduce nanoPharos, a public database within the Pharos ecosystem designed to put the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) into practice for datasets on novel and advanced materials, including nanomaterials. 

By organising information on material properties, behaviour, and provenance in a consistent, machine-actionable format, nanoPharos helps reduce data-to-analysis time, supports smarter modelling, and enables transparent, traceable evidence for decision-making. Developed and refined through several major EU projects, the platform continues to evolve, with ongoing work aimed at deeper ontology integration, enhanced APIs, and future knowledge-graph representations.
