Molecular Engineering of NanosystemsHardcover, 21 June 2001

Molecular nanotechnology is an emerging technology that allows us to build materials and systems with atomic and molecular precision by manipulating atoms and molecules at very small scales. The implications of this technology are great: continued revolutions in computer chip technology, new and stronger materials for manufacturing, and highly precise medical instruments. These and other advances in technologies, physics, chemistry and biology are converging to provide the methodology for molecular technology. This book provides the professional with an overview of current methodologies for implementing the technology.
