New Developments in Nanotechnology Research

Nanotechnology is a "catch-all" description of activities at the level of atoms and molecules that have applications in the real world. A nanometer is a billionth of a metre, about 1/80,000 of the diameter of a human hair, or 10 times the diameter of a hydrogen atom. Nanotechnology is now used in precision engineering, new materials development as well as in electronics; electromechanical systems as well as mainstream biomedical applications in areas such as gene therapy, drug delivery and novel drug discovery techniques. This book presents the latest research in this frontier field.Dirote, Eugene V. is the author of 'New Developments in Nanotechnology Research ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781600210174 and ISBN 1600210171.
