Flying cars, space travel for everyone, the elimination of poverty and hunger, and powerful new tools to combat disease, and even ageing - these are some of the amazing predicted developments of nanotechnology, the coming science of designing and building machines at the molecular and atomic levels. Will this new scientific revolution be for ...
A technical introduction to molecular nanotechnology, which describes the principles of molecular mechanical devices, the behaviour of simple components and the future development of various manufacturing and device technologies, such as nanochemical computers.
This work heralds the new age of nanotechnology, which will give us thorough and inexpensive control of the structure of matter. The author examines the enormous implications of these developments for medicine, the economy, and the environment, and makes astounding yet well-founded projections about the future.
Nanotechnology will enable us to create machines so small, they will be measured in nanometers (billions of a metre), able to manipulate matter with atom-by-atom precision. This book provides a guide to a future where the principles of this technology have been applied: diseases such as cancer and AIDS will be cured by molecular machines ...
Nanotechnology is expected to revolutionize research into all areas of our lives from within the heart of the living cell to the depth of space itself. It will enable us to construct machines a thousand times smaller than a microchip or the same size as an enzyme, which can be programmed to repair damage or destroy diseases within individual human ...
