Dieses essential gibt einen Uberblick uber die der Nanotechnologie zugrunde liegenden physikalischen Prinzipien, die es heute ermoglichen, mikroskopische Effekte technologisch zu nutzen. Es werden Methoden vorgestellt, welche die Herstellung von Nanostrukturen mit hochster Prazision erlauben. Im letzten Kapitel gibt der Autor einen Uberblick uber spannende technologische Anwendungen, angefangen vom Einsatz von auf Nanotechnologie basierenden Effekten bei Kirchenglasfenstern bis hin zu Solarzellen und CCD-Chips.

What if you discovered an infinitesimally thin material capable of conducting electricity, able to suspend millions of times its own weight, and yet porous enough to filter the murkiest water? And what if this incredible substance is created from the same element that fills the common pencil? That's graphene--a flat, two-dimensional, carbon-based molecule with a single...

Behind the Scenes of the Brain Show offers far-reaching insight into the human brain, packed with fascinating insight from the fields of science, philosophy, history and literature. This important volume showcases your brain's development, from the embryonic phase until old-age, while describing the changes the brain goes through in all of its emotional and social states, such as love, depression, joy, concentration, sleep and dream.

Four decades ago, J.P. Den Hartog, then Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wrote Strength of Materials, an elementary text that still enjoys great popularity in engineering schools throughout the world. Widely used as a classroom resource, it has also become a favorite reference and refresher on the subject among engineers everywhere.
This is the first paperback edition of an equally successful text by this highly respected engineer and author. Advanced Strength of Materials takes this important subject into areas of...
