Nanotechnology: The Whole Story

Description

Winner of an Outstanding Academic Title Award from CHOICE Magazine Transistors using one electron at a time. Seemingly transparent sunscreens made with titanium dioxide particles that block harmful UV rays. Nanometer-sized specks of gold that change color to red and melt at 750C instead of 1,064C. Nanotechnology finds the unique properties of things at the nanometer scale and then puts them to use! Although nanotechnology is a hot topic with a wide range of fascinating applications, the search for a true introductory popular resource usually comes up cold. Closer to a popular science book than a high-level treatise, Nanotechnology: The Whole Story works from the ground up to provide a detailed yet accessible introduction to one of the worldOCOs fastest growing fields. Dive headlong into nanotechnology! Tackling the eight main disciplinesOConanomaterials, nanomechanics, nanoelectronics, nanoscale heat transfer, nanophotonics, nanoscale fluid mechanics, nanobiotechnology, and nanomedicineOCothis book explains whatOCOs different at the nanoscale, and how we exploit those differences to make useful things. YouOCOre holding the key to an exciting and rapidly evolving field. So get "The Whole Story"OC
