Nanotechnology has been an extremely hot topic over the last decade. It is an interdisciplinary research field involving chemistry, physics, biology, engineering and medicine. Nanotechnology is the act of manipulating matter at the atomic scale which is the understanding and control of matter and devices in the dimensions between 1 to 100 nanometers. This special volume titled " Recent Trend in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology" is devoted to recent advances in the field of nanoscience research.

Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is about controlling and understanding matter on the nanometer and atomic scale. The development of sophisticated new laboratory techniques recently allowed scientists to monitor, measure, and manipulate matter at the nanoscale level. This ability to precisely control atoms and build molecules at extremely small length scales holds the promise for unprecedented breakthroughs in healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, energy, and national security in what some are calling a nanoscience and nanotechology revolution. The book consists of four chapters related to...

Materials science is an interdisciplinary research field involving the properties of matter and its applications to various areas of science and engineering.
