Nanoscience: The Science of the Small in Physics, Engineering, Chemistry, Biology and Medicine

Product Description
Emerged during the last two decades, nanoscience stands out for its interdisciplinarity. Barriers between disciplines seem to disappear at the convergence of the very small, where basic principles and tools are universal. Novel properties are inherent to nanosized systems due to a quantum effects and a reduction in dimensionality: nanoscience is likely to revolutionize many areas of human activity, such as materials science, nanoelectronics, information processing, biotechnology and medicine. This textbook spans over all fields of nanoscience, covering its broad applications. After a sound introduction to the physical and chemical principles of nanoscience, the text then moves onto the wider fields of microscopy, nanoanalysis, synthesis, nanocrystals, nanowires, nanolayers, carbon nanostructures, bulk nanomaterials, nanomechanics, nanophotonics, nanofluidics, nanomagnetism, nanotechnology for computers, nanochemistry, nanobiology, and nanomedicine. Didactically structured and replete with hundreds of illustrations, this uniquely compiled textbook is aimed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students of all natural sciences.

Algorithmic Bioprocesses

Product Description

A fundamental understanding of algorithmic bioprocesses is key to learning how information processing occurs in nature at the cell level. The field is concerned with the interactions between computer science on the one hand and biology, chemistry, and DNA-oriented nanoscience on the other. In particular, this book offers a comprehensive overview of research into algorithmic self-assembly, RNA folding, the algorithmic foundations for biochemical reactions, and the algorithmic nature of developmental processes.

The editors of the book invited 36 chapters, written by the leading researchers in this area, and their contributions include detailed tutorials on the main topics, surveys of the state of the art in research, experimental results, and discussions of specific research goals. The main subjects addressed are sequence discovery, generation, and analysis; nanoconstructions and self-assembly; membrane computing; formal models and analysis; process calculi and automata; biochemical reactions; and other topics from natural computing, including molecular evolution, regulation of gene expression, light-based computing, cellular automata, realistic modelling of biological systems, and evolutionary computing.

This subject is inherently interdisciplinary, and this book will be of value to researchers in computer science and biology who study the impact of the exciting mutual interaction between our understanding of bioprocesses and our understanding of computation.

Intelligent Materials

Product Description

In recent years, intelligent materials, which due to their molecular basis respond to external signals by a distinct reaction to the outside world, have seen an enormous progress. The stimuli which can trigger a response of such smart materials in nanoscale to macroscopic dimensions reach from electrical and magnetic input over effects of temperature and light, to selective molecular recognition of effector compounds. At the same time, chemists have recently designed elaborate supramolecular complexes, which can function as molecular machines.

This new book provides an authoritative introduction to the most recent developments of intelligent materials which are accessible by bottom-down engineering and bottom-up chemical approaches. The book highlights possible applications, reaching from sensors to new technologies in information processing, environmental control and in medicine.
