Opis

This book acts as a stepping-stone to working in or understanding a new world in nanoscience and nanotechnology, opening the door for students and practitioners to develop projects that depend on this understanding. The book can be used at three levels: as an introduction to the nanoscale world, as a resource for understanding the foundations, thereby allowing for moving forward to working in this area, and as a source of recent research in the areas that illustrate foundational principles.

O autorze

Nils O. Petersen was the Director of the National Institute for Nanotechnology in Canada for seven years and a professor of chemistry and biochemistry for 34 years. He has worked in the nanoscale field since 1972, specifically with lipid and cell membranes, and has taught courses in quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, spectroscopy, and membrane biophysics. The content of this book arises in part from a course provided for junior graduate students engaged in nanoscience and nanotechnology research at the University of Alberta.
