Nanotechnology (eBook, PDF)

The Whole Story

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book communicates, in easy-to-understand language, the sometimes tough-to-understand concepts of nanotechnology, providing a comprehensive reference for technically interested/trained laymen in the general public who want to learn more about this revolutionary, high-impact field of technology. The amount and level of math used in the pedagogy of the text has been minimized to cater to a general audience. The book includes behind-the-scenes stories of Nobel-prize-winning scientists-complete with eureka moments-as well as back-of-the-envelope calculations showing the real numbers of nanotechnology. Thematic figures have been created to pique the interest and guide readers.
