ScienceWorld includes more than 1,000 entries in many fields of science including: astronomy, chemistry, physics and biographies of many scientists. It is administrated by Eric Weisstein of Wolfram Research, Inc. who is the chief encyclopediaist assigned to the project. Wolfram Research is based in Champaign, Illinois, under the direction of Stephen Wolfram, author of A New Kind of Science and Mathematica. ScienceWorld is also connected with MathWorld and several other encyclopedia projects. Although ScienceWorld is not an open-source project, there are significant contributions from well informed volunteers.
