Overview

Get up to speed on nanotechnology and the many biological, chemical, physical, environmental, and political aspects of thisdeveloping science

LEARN NANOTECHNOLOGY in a NANOSECOND
Ever wonder how they make tiny machines? The booming field of nanotechnologyis all about building highly advanced super-small machines and devicesfrom the ground up. Nanotechnology Demystified provides you witheverything you need to know about the many biological, chemical,physical, environmental, and political aspects of nanotechnology.There's no faster, easier way to enhance your knowledge of thisup-and-coming branch of science where little doesn't mean less, it meansmore: more super-small devices, more jobs, more research opportunitiesfor you.

With Nanotechnology Demystified, you can masternanotechnology one simple step at a time -- at your own pace. Thisunique, self-teaching guide features multiple-choice questions at theend of each chapter to pinpoint weaknesses, and a final exam toreinforce what you've learned in the book.

This one-of-a-kind, self-teaching text offers:

Valuable Nanotech Notes, Tips, Scientific News, and International Trends
Coverageof nanotechnology's influence on pharmaceuticals, biomedicalapplications, energy, communications, engineering, and the environment
Anaccessible way to understand topics like carbon nanotubes, quantumdots, nano optics, lab-on-a-chip sensors, nanocomposites, DNA computers,and more
A final exam that you can take and grade yourself
Simpleenough for a beginner, but challenging enough for an advanced student,Nanotechnology Demystified is your shortcut to mastering the science ofthe very small.

It is exciting to learn about the nanoscaleworld and nanotechnology's influence on pharmaceuticals, biomedicalapplications, energy, communications, engineering and the environment.The most amazing stuff are 'nanomedicine' and 'quantum computing &communications'. For your information, nanomedicine describes themedical field of targeting disease or repairing damaged tissues at themolecular level. Quantum computers will be able to process and storehuge amounts of information. Quantum processing can operate millions,even billions of times faster than today's supercomputers!
Nanotechnologypromises to bring vast improvements in technology and standard ofliving in the next generation, and "Nanotechnology Demystified" is agood way for the general reader to get up to speed on this exciting newfield. The author explains the basic scientific concepts behindnanotechnology, and then describes the expected advances thatnanotechnology will make possible in areas such as health care, energy,computing, communications, electronics, and more. This is a book thatwill make the reader excited about the future. NanotechnologyDemystified
