For this to happen, the field needs a truly focused and dedicated textbook. This full-color masterwork is such a textbook. It introduces the nanoscale along with the societal impacts of nanoscience, and then presents an overview of characterization and fabrication methods. The authors systematically discuss the chemistry, physics, and biology aspects of nanoscience, providing a complete picture of the challenges, opportunities, and inspirations posed by each facet before giving a brief glimpse at nanoscience in action: nanotechnology UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0814/2008013710.html UR - http://www.worldcat.org/title/introduction-to-nanoscience/oclc/214286037&referer=brief_results ER -
