Principles of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Description

Nanotechnology is about looking at the world on such a tiny scale that we can not only see the atoms that make up everything around us, but we can manipulate and move those atoms around to create new things. Nanotechnology has great importance in improving products, treating diseases, and serving humanity in all areas of life. In addition, it gives great hope for future scientific revolutions in physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and others. This book “Principles of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology” is meant to serve as a textbook for beginners in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. It can also be used as additional reading in this multifaceted area. It covers the entire spectrum of nanoscience and technology: introduction, terminology, historical perspectives of this domain of science, unique and widely differing properties, advances in the various synthesis, consolidation and characterization techniques, applications of nanoscience and technology and emerging materials and technologies.
