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 a team of experienced authors headed by
Vincenzo Balzani, one of the pioneers in the development of
molecular machines Covers such diverse aspects as sensors, memory
components, solar energy conversion, biomolecules as molecular
machines, and much more Presented in a lucid style and didactically
structured, with both the expert and the newcomer in mind Includes
a glossary of terms and numerous references to the recent
literature Be among the first to explore the fascinating
possibilities of this future-oriented technology! A must-have for
every chemist and materials scientist with an interest in
nanotechnology.
