Tomorrow’s nanoscientists will have a truly interdisciplinary and nano-centric education, rather than, for example, a degree in chemistry with a specialization in nanoscience. For this to happen, the field needs a truly focused and dedicated textbook. Introduction to Nanoscience is such a textbook. This vibrantly illustrated, full-color masterwork introduces the nanoscale along with the societal impacts of nanoscience, and then presents an overview of characterization and fabrication methods. The authors systematically discuss the chemistry, physics, and biology aspects of nanoscience, providing a complete picture of the challenges, opportunities, and inspirations posed by each facet before giving a brief glimpse at nanoscience in action: nanotechnology.

Nanotechnology is no longer a subdiscipline of chemistry, engineering, or any other field. It represents the convergence of many fields, and therefore demands a new paradigm for teaching. Fundamentals of Nanotechnology is for the next generation of nanotechnologists. This 2009 CHOICE Award winner surveys the field’s broad landscape, exploring the physical basics such as nanorheology, nanofluidics, and nanomechanics, as well as industrial concerns such as manufacturing, reliability, and safety.

Nanomaterials Understanding Nanomaterials Malkiat S. Johal and Lewis E. V. Johnson Pomona College, Claremont, California, USA

“... serves students well in their goal to gain a greater understanding of why nanoscaled systems are of great interest, how they are fabricated, and how they are characterized using a wide variety of analytical instrumentation very commonly found in university and industrial settings.”

—Marcus D. Lay, University of Georgia, Athens, USA

Understanding Nanomaterials is a training tool for the future workforce in nanotech development.

Accessible to students who have taken introductory university science courses, this introductory textbook provides a coherent overview of the fundamental principles that govern the fabrication, characterization, and application of nanomaterials. Assuming only a basic level of competency in physics, chemistry, and biology, the author focuses on the needs of the undergraduate curriculum, discussing important processes such as self-assembly, patterning, and nanolithography. His approach limits mathematical rigor in the presentation of key results and proofs, leaving it to the instructor’s discretion to add more advanced details, or to emphasize particular areas of interest. Figure slides are available with qualifying course adoption.

Nanoscale Physics for Materials Science Takaaki Tsurumi, Hiroyuki Hirayama, Martin Vacha, and Tomoyasu Taniyama Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan

Although there are many books available on the preparation, properties, and characterization of nanomaterials, few provide an interdisciplinary account of the physical phenomena that govern the novel properties of nanomaterials. Addressing this shortfall, this text covers fundamental cross-disciplinary concepts in materials science and engineering. It presents a unified approach to materials science, rather than focusing on inorganic, organic, semiconductor, ceramic, and metallurgical materials separately, offering a comprehensive description of the physical phenomena and changes that can be expected when macroscopically sized materials are reduced to the nanometer level. Problem sets and references are included at the end of each chapter. A solutions manual is available with qualifying course adoption.

Molecular Motors in Bionanotechnology Keith Firman and James Youell University of Portsmouth, UK

Molecular Motors in Bionanotechnology describes a wide range of molecular motors, ranging from chemical motors to biological motors, in a manner that updates, or reviews, both classification of the type of motor and the grouping into families. Many techniques have evolved to study and characterize molecular motors at the single-molecule level. This text introduces students to the concepts and benefits of these techniques. In addition, it looks at the structural information and how this helps understand function and, finally, how some of these motors are being used or may be used in the future as part of a synthetic biology approach to building devices and sensors.

Features: • Illustrates examples of major groupings of motors

• Emphasizes practical knowledge useful for application to real-world problems

• Provides a coherent review of groupings and families of molecular motors

Bionanotechnology Learning Bio-MicroNanotechnology Mel I. Mendelson Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, California, USA

A primary text for undergraduate nanotechnology courses, Learning BioMicro-Nanotechnology is designed for students who lack a cross-disciplinary background and knowledge of micro- and nano-technology. Clearly and concisely written, it contains many examples, questions, and problems divided into three hierarchical learning skills: understanding, analyzing, and evaluating the concepts. The author attempts to break down the boundaries between biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and ethics. He accomplishes this by co-mingling the vocabulary and concepts of these disciplines around bio-applications. Copiously illustrated, the text leans heavily towards biological and biomedical applications. A solutions manual and figure slides are available with qualifying course adoption.

A Journey through the Cell Nucleus

Abridged Contents:

Helmut Schiessel Leiden University, The Netherlands

This textbook gives compact introductions to the basics of the field (areas such as molecular cell biology and statistical physics) and then presents in-depth discussions of more advanced biophysics subjects, progressing to state-of-the-art experiments and their theoretical interpretations. The book is unique by offering a general introduction to biophysics, yet at the same time restricting itself to processes that occur inside the cell nucleus and that involve biopolymers (DNA, RNA, and proteins). This allows for an accessible read for students and a springboard for specialists who wish to continue their study in more detail.
