“... serves students well intheir goal to gain a greaterunderstanding of whynanoscaled systems are ofgreat interest, how they arefabricated, and how theyare characterized using a wide variety of analyticalinstrumentation very commonly found in universityand industrial settings.”
—Marcus D. Lay, University of Georgia, Athens, USA
Understanding Nanomaterials is a training tool forthe future workforce in nanotech development.Accessible to students who have taken introductoryuniversity science courses, this introductory textbookprovides a coherent overview of the fundamentalprinciples that govern the fabrication, characteriza-tion, and application of nanomaterials. Assuming onlya basic level of competency in physics, chemistry, andbiology, the author focuses on the needs of the under-graduate curriculum, discussing important processessuch as self-assembly, patterning, and nanolithogra-phy. His approach limits mathematical rigor in thepresentation of key results and proofs, leaving it to theinstructor’s discretion to add more advanced details,or to emphasize particular areas of interest. Figureslides are available with qualifying course adoption.
Features:
• Contains real-world examples, application notes,and a glossary of technical terminology
• Highlights interdisciplinary theory and enablingtools derived from chemistry, biology, physics,medicine, and engineering

Addressing this shortfall, thistext covers fundamental cross-disciplinary concepts inmaterials science and engineering. It presents a uni-fied approach to materials science, rather than focus-ing on inorganic, organic, semiconductor, ceramic,and metallurgical materials separately, offering a com-prehensive description of the physical phenomenaand changes that can be expected when macroscop-ically sized materials are reduced to the nanometerlevel.

MolecularMotors inBionano-technologyKeith Firman and James YouellUniversity of Portsmouth, UK
Molecular Motors in Bionanotechnology describesa wide range of molecular motors, ranging fromchemical motors to biological motors, in a mannerthat updates, or reviews, both classification of the typeof motor and the grouping into families. Many tech-niques have evolved to study and characterize molec-ular motors at the single-molecule level. This textintroduces students to the concepts and benefits ofthese techniques. In addition, it looks at the structuralinformation and how this helps understand functionand, finally, how some of these motors are being usedor may be used in the future as part of a synthetic biol-ogy approach to building devices and sensors.
Features:
• Illustrates examples of major groupings ofmotors
• Provides a coherent review of groupings andfamilies of molecular motors
• Discusses various uses in synthetic biology andbionanotechnology

Biophysics forBeginnersA Journey throughthe Cell NucleusHelmut SchiesselLeiden University, TheNetherlands
This textbook gives compactintroductions to the basics ofthe field (areas such asmolecular cell biology andstatistical physics) and thenpresents in-depth discussions of more advanced bio-physics subjects, progressing to state-of-the-art exper-iments and their theoretical interpretations. The bookis unique by offering a general introduction to bio-physics, yet at the same time restricting itself toprocesses that occur inside the cell nucleus and thatinvolve biopolymers (DNA, RNA, and proteins). Thisallows for an accessible read for students and a spring-board for specialists who wish to continue their studyin more detail.
