Encyclopaedia of Nanotechnology (Hardcover)

Nano is a prefix meaning 1/1,000/000/000. That is why it is one of its kind; It overlaps with a wide range of the existing sciences. Subjects that seem at present to have the most direct involvement with nanotechnology are: Opical and quantum physics, molecular biology, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering. The applications of nanotechnology are near limitless, but the main focus seems to be on its use in medical applications. There are many other applications, ranging from mundane to profound. Others include ultra fast and high memory advanced biological imaging, stem cell engineering, medical diagnostic tools, sensor for airborne pollutants energy storage materials. Although, it is a field that has already seen its share of hype, there is a general consensus that its likely to reconfigure everything.
