<br/><br/> Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology explains nanotechnology to an audience that does not necessarily have a scientific background. It covers all aspects, including the new areas of biomedical applications and the use of nanotechnology to probe the ""quantum vacuum."" After discussing the present state of the art in nanotechnology, the book makes estimates of where these technologies are going and what will be possible in the future.
