Softcover. Condizione: Very Good. Modern technology is becoming molecularly precise. Nanotechnology, machines as small as DNA. This capacity to manipulate matter - to "programme" matter - with atomic precision will utterly change the economic, ecological and cultural fabric of our lives. This book, which is accessible to a broad audience while providing references to the technical literature, presents a wide range of potential applications of this new material technology. The first chapter introduces the basic concepts of molecular engineering and demonstrates that several mutually reinforcing trends in current research are leading directly into a world of surprisingly powerful molecular machines. Nine original essays on specific applications follow. The first section presents applications of nanotechnology that interact directly with the molecular systems of the human body. The second presents applications that function, for the most part, outside the body. The final section details the mechanisms of a universal human-machine interface and the operation of an extremely high resolution display system. 214 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good condition. Condizione sovraccoperta: very good. Presumed first edition/first printing. ix, 381 pages. Illustrations (some in color). Index. Cover credits slip laid in.Nanotechnology ("nanotech") is manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale. The earliest, widespread description of nanotechnology referred to the particular technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale products, also now referred to as molecular nanotechnology. A more generalized description of nanotechnology was subsequently established by the National Nanotechnology Initiative, which defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers. Because of the variety of potential applications (including industrial and military), governments have invested billions of dollars in nanotechnology research. Until 2012, through its National Nanotechnology Initiative, the USA has invested 3.7 billion dollars, the European Union has invested 1.2 billion and Japan 750 million dollars. This book presents a wide range of potential applications of this new material technology. The first section introduces the basic concepts of molecular engineering and demonstrates that several mutually reinforcing trends in current research are leading directly into a world of powerful molecular machines, presenting applications of nanotechnology that interact directly with the molecular systems of the human body. The second section presents applications that function outside the body. The final section details the mechanisms of a universal human-machine interface and the operation of an extremely high resolution system.
