Definitions
from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.
- noun A process in which ultrathin, multifilament fibers with diameters in the nanometer range are created by spinning and manipulating streams of electrically charged polymers in a strong magnetic or electric field, used to make specialized fabrics, such as those in space suits.
