Berlin's Institute of Chemistry maintains the Acronyms and Abbreviations database, which contains more than 12,000 entries geared towards chemistry and spectroscopy. Users need only type in an acronym or abbreviation and then click to get a list of possible results. A search for "GC," for example, brings up gas chromatography, glycerol, graphic context, and strangely enough garbage collection. This helpful tool has the potential of being a handy resource for those working in related fields or anyone seeking the complete wording to a mysterious acronym or abbreviation.
