Taken from the Greek, Nano means 'one billionth part of a whole; or very, very small. Nanotechnology is the next step after miniaturisation. Nanotechnology: Basic Science and Emerging Technologies bridge the gap between detailed technical publications that are beyond the grasp of non-specialists and popular science books, which may be more science fiction than fact. It provides a fascinating, scientifically sound treatment, accessible to engineers and scientists outside the field and even to students at the undergraduate level. After a basic introduction to the field, the authors explore topics that include molecular nanotechnology, nanomaterials and nanopowders, nanoelectronics, optics and photonics, and nanobiometrics. This book scrutinises the cutting edge of a new technology that will find usage in almost every single aspect of modern society. It is an interesting and useful book for undergraduate and postgraduate students, teachers, researchers, scientists and industrialists, who are working in nanoscience and nanotechnology field.
