Molecular devices and machines

Más información sobre el libro

The miniaturization of bulky devices and machines is a process that confronts us on a daily basis. However, nanoscale machines with varied and novel characteristics may also result from the enlargement of extremely small building blocks, namely individual molecules. This bottom-up approach to nanotechnology is already being pursued in information technology, with many other branches about to follow. Written by Vincenzo Balzani and his team of co-authors, this book provides a comprehensive overview of this fascinating and multifarious topic, offering newcomers and experts alike a wealth of information.
