Book Description
Nanotechnology and all the contributing forces behind it
Because it will take an overall introductory view of nanoscience and
nanotechnology, it is ideal as a supplemental textbook, or as a general
reference for policy makers, engineers, and research technicians, among
others.
The tried and true Demystified format will be employed, along with
wonderful icons to help point out particularly interesting and important
ideas.
Key features
A self-teaching guide for anyone interested in nanotechnology and the many
biological, chemical, physical, environmental and political aspects of the
developing science
The field of Nanotechnology is HUGE
Back Cover copy
Ever wonder how they make tiny machines? The booming field of
nanotechnology is all about building highly advanced super-small machines
and devices from the ground up. Nanotechnology Demystified provides you
with everything you need to know about the many biological, chemical,
physical, environmental, and political aspects of nanotechnology. There's
no faster, easier way to enhance your knowledge of this up-and-coming
branch of science where little doesn't mean less, it means more: more
super-small devices, more jobs, more research opportunities for you.
With Nanotechnology Demystified, you can master nanotechnology one simple
step at a time -- at your own pace. This unique, self-teaching guide
features multiple-choice questions at the end of each chapter to pinpoint
weaknesses, and a final exam to reinforce what you've learned in the book.
This one-of-a-kind, self-teaching text offers:
Valuable Nanotech Notes, Tips, Scientific News, and International Trends
Coverage of nanotechnology's influence on pharmaceuticals, biomedical
applications, energy, communications, engineering, and the environment
An accessible way to understand topics like carbon nanotubes, quantum dots,
nano optics, lab-on-a-chip sensors, nanocomposites, DNA computers, and more
A final exam that you can take and grade yourself
Simple enough for a beginner, but challenging enough for an advanced
student, Nanotechnology Demystified is your shortcut to mastering the
science of the very small.
