The "Exploring Matter with Neutrons" encyclopedia - second edition - was presented to a select audience of 750 researchers involved in neutronics research during the "International Conference on Neutron Scattering" which took place in Sydney, Australia between 27th and 2nd December 2005.

Here is an excerpt from the encyclopedia's presentation:

"When consulted in 1998 about the teaching of neutron science, the main claim from teachers was "we need up-to-date educational material!" One of the consequences was an ambitious CD-ROM project intended to cover almost all aspects of neutron science and techniques. We will present the outcome of this initial project, the CD-ROM "Exploring matter with neutrons" v2. Let us summarize it in few numbers: […] 1700 pages, 3000 images, animations and movies, and more than one hundred contributors from the worldwide neutron community. The targeted audience is mainly students, teachers, or scientists but not experts in specific domains of neutron science, although it will prove useful in neutron summer schools and to widen the general knowledge of specialists in a different neutron area."
