"Basics of nanotechnology have been written so as to serve as an informative guide on the practical relevance of nanotechnology. What current nanotechnological services are in existence, on what principles they work, and what the future holds for nanotechnology--all these comprises the contents of the books.

The multifold implications of nanoscience and nanotechnology have been discussed most comprehensively, as this science holds the key to understand the future of humanity in terms of scientific developments. In addition, the meticulously detailed and label illustrations further foster a better understanding of nanotechnological devices. It is hoped that this book proves to be an illuminating reading and learning experience for the readers." (jacket)
