Encyclopedia Of Nanoscience And Nanotechnology (Volume 1) Encyclopedia Of Nanoscience And Nanotechnology (Volume 2)

Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is one of its kinds in terms of coverage, scope, elaboration, usefulness and futuristic perspective. Nanotechnology is now a rapidly growing field of research and development that is cutting across many traditional boundaries. This technology has the abilityto control or manipulate on the atomic scale. Nanoscience is the study of phenomena and manipulation of materials at atomic, molecular and macromolecular scales, where properties differ significantly from those at a larger scale. Nanomaterials are cornerstones of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Nanostructure science and technology is a broad and interdisciplinary area of research and development activity that has been growing explosively worldwide in the past few years. Nanotechnology is the creation and utilisation of materials, devices, and systems through the control of matter on the nanometer-Iength scale, that is, at the level of atoms, molecules, and supramolecular structures. The essence of nanotechnology is the ability to work at these levels to generate larger structures with fundamentally new molecular organisation. These nanostructures, made with building blocks understood from first principles, are the smallest human-made objects, and they exhibit novel physical, chemical, and biological properties and phenomena. The aim of nanotechnology is to learn to exploit these properties and efficiently manufacture and employ the structures. Nanoscience and Nanotechnology stands out for its interdisciplinary, are a fast developing field of research. This encyclopedia is provides comprehensive coverage of advanced topics in the emerging discipline of nano science and nanotechnology, which reflects increasing applications of nanoscience and nanotechnology in the emerging areas of nanotechnology such as in biotechnology electronics chemistry, physics, materials science etc.
