The world is made up of structures too small to see with the naked eye, too small to see even with an electron microscope. Einstein established the reality of atoms and molecules in the early 1900s. How can we see a world measured in fractions of nanometers? This beautiful and fascinating book gives us a tour of the invisible nanoscale world.

Produktbeschreibung
The world is made up of structures too small to see with the naked eye, too small to see even with an electron microscope. Einstein established the reality of atoms and molecules in the early 1900s. How can we see a world measured in fractions of nanometers? This beautiful and fascinating book gives us a tour of the invisible nanoscale world. It offers many vivid color illustrations of atomic structures, each accompanied by a short, engagingly written essay. From Nanoscale we learn how diamonds ride volcanoes to the earth¿s surface (if they came up more slowly, they¿d be graphite, as in pencils); what form of carbon is named after Buckminster Fuller; when we use spinodal decomposition in our daily lives (it involves hot water and a package of Jell-O), and much more.
