About this book
It is only recently that advances in scanning probe microscopy, biotechnology (mainly protein and genetic engineering), and solution-phase chemistry have been defined as tools to implement the technology. These and other advances in the technologies of physics, chemistry and biology are converging to provide the methodology for a molecular-scale technology. This book provides the professional with an overview of current methodologies in the field, with emphasis on the implementation of current research.
Reviews
"...Provides an intuitive, scientific framework for understanding nanoscale systems. Rietman had organized the book around his precept that "solution-phase chemistry and protein engineering will bootstrap us into the first phase of nanotechnology."... Useful for those who might need a basic introduction to some of the important issues in nanotechnology and the influence of the chemical and biological science on the nanotechnology revolution. Those seeking a qualitative picture of nanoscale systems engineering will find it a useful reference." PHYSICS TODAY, August 2002
