Product Description
Nanotechnology is a vital new area of research and development addressing the control, modification and fabrication of materials, structures and devices with nanometre precision and the synthesis of such structures into systems of micro- and macroscopic dimensions. Future applications of nanoscale science and technology include motors smaller than the diameter of a human hair and single-celled organisms programmed to fabricate materials with nanometer precision.

Miniaturisation has revolutionised the semiconductor industry by making possible inexpensive integrated electronic circuits comprised of devices and wires with sub-micrometer dimensions. These integrated circuits are now ubiquitous, controlling everything from cars to toasters. The next level of miniaturisation, beyond sub-micrometer dimensions into nanoscale dimensions (invisible to the unaided human eye) is a booming area of research and development. This is a very hot area of research with large amounts of venture capital and government funding being invested worldwide, as such Nanoscale Science and Technology has a broad appeal based upon an interdisciplinary approach, covering aspects of physics, chemistry, biology, materials science and electronic engineering. Kelsall et al present a coherent approach to nanoscale sciences, which will be invaluable to graduate level students and researchers and practising engineers and product designers.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 1 review)

A book useful to both researchers and teachers on the field.

This is a book that would be useful to both researcers and teachers of Nanoscience. It contais a lot of information on Nanotechnology for new researchers on the field and it is structured in a way that gradualy presents the newcomer almost with every aspect of modern Nanoscience and Technology. That way, the book assists any young researcher to find basic information on his/her topic and guides him/her to the proper literature in order to obtain the full knowledge. Hence it is a very useful book for fresh research students in the field. Moreover, the book can be used for a postgraduate taught class on nanoscale science and technology, since every chapter can be used by professors both for lecturing purposes as well as for small project asssignments.
