What is What in the Nanoworld: A Handbook on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Product Description
The second, completely revised and enlarged edition of What is What in the Nanoworld summarizes the terms and definitions, most important phenomena, and regulations occurring in the physics, chemistry, technology, and application of nanostructures. A representative collection of fundamental terms and definitions from quantum physics and chemistry, special mathematics, organic and inorganic chemistry, solid state physics, material science and technology accompanies recommended second sources (books, reviews, websites) for an extended study of any given subject.

Each entry interprets the term or definition under consideration and briefly presents the main features of the phenomena behind it. Additional information in the form of notes (“First described in”, “Recognition”, “More details in”) supplements the entries and gives a historical perspective of the subject with reference to further sources.

Ideal for answering questions related to unknown terms and definitions among undergraduate and PhD students studying the physics of low-dimensional structures, nanoelectronics, and nanotechnology.

Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 15-Volume Set Print Edition

Product Description
ABOUT THIS ENCYCLOPEDIA (New 15 VOLUMES SET): The first 10-volume set of this encyclopedia proved to be a milestone for the scientific community working in the field of nanotechnology. Given the tremendous success of the first 10-volumes and fast research development in the different fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology, it was decided to bring new volumes summarizing emerging nanotechnologies over the past several years. The new 15 volumes update the best-selling encyclopedia which initially appeared in 2004. The new 15 volumes contain 100% of new state-of-the-art 300 articles organized in an A-Z format, more than 900 contributing authors, 60,000 bibliographic references, 6600 figures, 600 tables and hundreds of equations to provide a complete coverage of advanced research in all nanotechnology related fields such as chemistry, physics, engineering and medical sciences. Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is a landmark reference in the continuously emerging field of nanotechnology containing hundreds of descriptive images/figures/illustrations in color for a better representation like earlier 10-volume set published in 2004. The comprehensive coverage of advanced topics in the new 15 volumes reflects emphasis on emerging nanotechnologies. The most expanded, this classic reference is one of the best books in the world. It is the most comprehensive and unique reference with a very broad and wide-ranging coverage in the field of nanotechnology that establishes this encyclopedia apart from other similar types of titles. THE COMPLETE 25 VOLUMES SET (Vols. 1-25): The first edition of the Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 10-Volume Set, (Edited by H. S. Nalwa, Foreword by Professor Richard E. Smalley, Nobel Prize Laureate, Endorsed by Professor Jean-Marie Lehn, Nobel Prize Laureate) that appeared in 2004 received the 2005 Best Reference Work Award of the American Society for Engineering Education (USA) and 2005 Outstanding Academic Title by the CHOICE magazine from the American Library Association (USA). With the addition of new 15 volumes, the entire 25 volumes set now contains over 700 review chapters (nearly 300 of which are brand new), contributed by over 2,000 of the world’s leading scientists from top-notch academic and industrial institutions worldwide. The 25 volume set contains the largest number of state-of-the-art review chapters in the world in the field of nanotechnology. Each chapter is fully cross-referenced, introducing some of the most important nanotechnologies under development today. The entire 25 volumes of encyclopedia now contain approximately over 700 articles, 150,000 bibliographic citations and thousands of illustrations, figures, tables, and equations covering over 22,000 pages which hundreds of images/figures/illustrations in color. KEY FEATURES: 1. The 25 volume set is a landmark reference that contains the largest number of research articles in the world. 2. Comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the nanoscale science and technology in all disciplines of science. 3. Most up-to-date reference work ever published drawing on the past two decades of pioneering research 4. Over 700+review chapters (ca. 22,000 pages) contributed by nearly 2,000 of the world’s leading scientists 5. All entries organized alphabetically in an A-Z order, browsing capabilties within different categories 6. Edited and written by internationally known authoritative experts familiar with current technologies 6. Truly international: authors from 40 countries 7. Approximately 150,000 bibliographic citations providing extensive cross-referencing in each article 8. About 15,000 figures, 1,400 tables and hundreds of chemical structures and equations 9. Published in both print and online formats. 10. Multidisciplinary reference source for researchers sp

An Introduction to Nanosciences and Nanotechnology

Product Description
This book recalls the basics required for an understanding of the nanoworld (quantum physics, molecular biology, micro and nanoelectronics) and gives examples of applications in various fields: materials, energy, devices, data management and life sciences. It is clearly shown how the nanoworld is at the crossing point of knowledge and innovation.
Written by an expert who spent a large part of his professional life in the field, the title also gives a general insight into the evolution of nanosciences and nanotechnologies. The reader is thus provided with an introduction to this complex area with different “tracks” for further personal comprehension and reflection. This guided and illustrated tour also reveals the importance of the nanoworld in everyday life.

Nanotechnology Friend or Foe?

Im a student wanting to go into the nanoscience feild i just wanted to peoples of opinions on nanoscience. Including wether some nanoscience crosses the ethical lines of research and Nature

NASA’s use of nanotechnology? 20 points for the most detailed answer!!!!!!?

I am doing a research assignment focusing on the aspects of nanoscience (Nanotechnology) i would like to know how nanotechnology will be incorporated by the engineers in NASA
