This book introduces advanced nanotechnology, its fabrication, characterization, imaging technologies, and its applications in the development of devices for engineering and medicine (particularly for nanoelectronics and nanomedicine). It also explores thermal management applications and the potential impacts of nanotechnology for future warfare systems. * A complex technology discussed with clarity and insight.* Presents state-of-the-art nanotechnology concepts in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and Biology (other texts focus on one area only). An authoritative overview of this rising technology.* Accessible for emerging entrepreneurs as the book places its emphasis on applications rather than fundamental science. Technologies laid out in a way that is easy to reduce into practice.* Discusses nanotechnology applications inhealthcare, defence and biotechnology.
