No Small Matter: Science on the Nanoscale,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A small revolution is remaking the world. The only problem is, we cant see it. This book uses dazzling images and evocative descriptions to reveal the virtually invisible realities and possibilities of nanoscience. An introduction to the science and technology of small things, No Small Matter explains science on the nanoscale.Authors Felice C. Frankel and George M. Whitesides offer an overview of recent scientific advances that have given us our evershrinking microtechnologyfor instance, an information processor connected by wires only 1,000 atoms wide. They describe the new methods used to study nanostructures, suggest ways of understanding their often bizarre behavior, and outline their uses in technology. This book explains the various means of making nanostructures and speculates about their importance for critical developments in information processing, computation, biomedicine, and other areas.No Small Matter considers both the benefits and the risks of nano/microtechnologyfrom the potential of quantum computers and singlemolecule genomic sequencers to the concerns about selfreplicating nanosystems. By making the practical and probable realities of nanoscience as comprehensible and clear as possible, the book provides a unique vision of work at the very boundaries of modern science.
