NANOSCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
A Collection of Reviews from Nature Journals

edited by Peter Rodgers (Nature Publishing Group)

This book contains 35 review articles on nanoscience and nanotechnology that were first published in Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Materials and a number of other Nature journals. The articles are all written by leading authorities in their field and cover a wide range of areas in nanoscience and technology, from basic research (such as single-molecule devices and new materials) through to applications (in, for example, nanomedicine and data storage).

 
Table of Contents
 
Readership: Chemists, physicists, materials scientists, engineers, biomedical scientists and anyone interested in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
 
“This collection of papers consists of some of the latest and most advanced reports in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Topics covered include all aspects of the field: nano-optics, nanoelectronics, nanofabrication, DNA manipulation and nanobio. In each case the papers represent ground-breaking research, reported by some of the most prominent leaders in science and technology. This is a useful volume of value to all involved in today's research in nano-science and nanotechnology.”
Professor Leonard C Feldman
Rutgers University
 
“World Scientific and Nature should be applauded for publishing this collection of some of the most important papers in nanoscience. Pulling these papers together in one volume helps put the remarkable advances in this still very new field in perspective and stimulates thinking about future directions in nanoscience and technology. It will be an important resource for the community.”
Professor Mark Lundstrom
Purdue University
 
“This volume is an important collection of some of the best nanoscience papers from Nature journals over the past few years, making it a valuable reference. The volume covers a broad range of seminal advances, covering topics such as nanoscale electronic and photonic materials, biological and medical applications, fabrication and assembly at the nanoscale, carbon and molecular-scale electronics, nano-optics and plasmonics, and many more. The collection of all these papers in one place makes it a must-have for any student or researcher in nanoscience.”
Professor Mark Reed
Harold Hodgkinson Professor of Engineering and Applied Science
Yale University
 
“There is a need for a book such as this that provides an introduction to the many areas of nanoscale science and technology.”
Professor Hongjie Dai
Stanford University
 
“This is a remarkable collection, surveying many forefronts of contemporary nanoscience and nanotechnology.”
Professor Michael Roukes
California Institute of Technology
 
“… the basic physics and chemistry of the technology presented will not be challenged for the foreseeable future, making this book an excellent time enduring reference, and the articles will provide a historical perspective, in the respective areas of nanotechnology, for past and future trends and directions in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The articles contained within the book are very well written, making them a pleasure to read. They also include high quality colour graphics that provide, for the reader, an elegant visual connection to what is being discussed in the text.”
