Example
Anisotropically etched silicon wafers are used in the production of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).
Example
The crystal structure of the mineral is anisotropically arranged.
Summary: anisotropically in Brief
'Anisotropically' [an-ahy-suh-trop-ik-lee, -troh-pik-lee] describes something that exhibits different properties or behavior in different directions within the same material. It is often used in scientific contexts, such as testing materials for strength or analyzing the crystal structure of minerals.
