"Advances in physics, molecular biology, and computer science are converging on the capacity to control, with molecular precision, the structure and function of matter. These twenty original contributions provide the first broad-based multidisciplinary definition and examination…
"This text provides an introduction, at the level of an advanced student in engineering or physics, to the field of nanomechanics and nanomechanical devices. It provides a unified discussion of solid mechanics, with notation consistent with modern convention. A discussion of ele…
"Providing the first self-contained introduction to the physical concepts, techniques and applications, the author covers the entire spectrum from the latest examples of nanoscale systems right up to single-electron and molecular electronics. Besides comprehensively presenting t…
The field of molecules in motion, for which movements and shape changes are triggered and controlled from outside, has been indisputably one of the most rapidly developing areas of the last decade. Clearly, molecular chemists in general are able to elaborate more and more comple…

Leading international agricultural system scientists present their exp eriences and provide guidance on how models can be used to enhance the quality of field research, transfer of research information and techn ology to farmers and ranchers, and decision support for agricultura…
The miniaturization of bulky devices and machines is a process that confronts us on a daily basis. However, nanoscale machines with varied and novel characteristics may also result from the enlargement of extremely small building blocks, namely individual molecules. This bottom-…

An irreverent, comprehensive romp, by an experienced science popularizer, through the many fascinating details of the nano world. Since the dawn of technology, many tools have grown steadily smaller even as they have grown more powerful and complex. Now nanoscience takes technol…
"In Nanocosm, Atkinson takes readers into the incredibly complex, yet equally beautiful world of nanotechnology. Atkinson distinguishes hype and speculation from the amazing reality of what truly is possible through nanotechnology in our very immediate future: cell-sized compute…
