No publisher nanoscienceworks 2010-09-01T17:21:20Z News Item http://nanoscienceworks.org/publications/books/fundamentals-of-nanotechnology-textbook This textbook offers a new paradigm for teaching the next generation of nanotechnologists. The authors survey the physical basics of nanotechnology (nanorheology, nanofluidics, nanomaterials and nanomechanics), and many industrial concerns -- manufacturing, reliability, and safety. This textbook is an ideal companion to "Introduction to Nanoscience," by the same group of esteemed authors. Fundamentals of Nanotechnology also includes a rich set of Instructors Materials, including Lecture Notes and PDF slides to complement the book. To view these valuable materials click the 'Supplementary material' tab above.
