This 21st Century Nanoscience Handbook will be the most comprehensive,
up-to-date large reference work for the field of nanoscience. Handbook
of Nanophysics by the same editor published in the fall of 2010 and was
embraced as the first comprehensive reference to consider both
fundamental and applied aspects of nanophysics. This follow-up project
has been conceived as a necessary expansion and full update that
considers the significant advances made in the field since 2010. It goes
well beyond the physics as warranted by recent developments in the
field. This eighth volume in a ten-volume set covers
nanopharmaceuticals, nanomedicine, and food nanoscience.
Key Features:
- Provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date large reference work for
the field.
- Chapters written by international experts in the field.
- Emphasises presentation and real results and applications.
This handbook distinguishes itself from other works by its breadth of
coverage, readability and timely topics. The intended readership is very
broad, from students and instructors to engineers, physicists, chemists,
biologists, biomedical researchers, industry professionals, governmental
scientists, and others whose work is impacted by nanotechnology. It will
be an indispensable resource in academic, government, and industry
libraries worldwide. The fields impacted by nanophysics extend from
materials science and engineering to biotechnology, biomedical
engineering, medicine, electrical engineering, pharmaceutical science,
computer technology, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, food
science, and beyond.
