The latest web version of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is now online. (It is actually the web version of the 88th print edition.)

This new web edition has tables with five new topics:
* Properties of Ionic Liquids
* Solubilities of Hydrocarbons in Sea Water
* Solubility of Organic Compounds in Superheated Water
* Nutritive Value of Foods
* Properties of Organic Semiconductors

Seven of the most heavily used tables have been extensively revised and updated:
* Critical Constants
* Heats of Vaporization
* Aqueous Solubility of Organic Compounds
* Thermodynamic Properties of Air
* Dipole Moments of Molecules
* Bond Dissociation Energies
* Properties of Fundamental Particles

Ten more tables have been made interactive and are now searchable by name, formula, and numerical properties.

There are also two new sections:
* Tables that were previously removed from older print editions for reasons of space - Appendix B
* Subject index giving you the same easy browsability as the print - Section 20
