Offers an introduction to the topics in interfacial phenomena, colloid science or nanoscience. Designed as a pedagogical tool, this book recognizes the cross-disciplinary nature of the subject. It features descriptions of experiments and contains figures and illustrations that enhance the understanding of concepts.
This work introduces novel techniques for the fabrication of bio-inspired hierarchical micro- and nanostructures. The enormous potential of these techniques is demonstrated by presenting a synthetic gecko-like adhesive matching the adhesion and self-cleaning of geckos very closely and a nanofur which is superhydrophobic, superoleophilic, underwater air-retaining, and even self-healing when surface treated.
The Symposium on Magnetic Ultrathin Films, Multilayers and Surfaces, hosted by the European Materials Research Society, was held at the Palais de la Musique et des Congré in Strasbourg, France on June 4-7, 1996. Its central theme was the relationship of magnetic properties and device performance to structure at the nano and micrometer length scale. Research on the magnetism of surfaces, ultrathin films and multilayers has increased dramatically during recent years. This development was triggered by the discovery of coupling between ferromagnetic layers across nonmagnetic spacer layers and of the giant magnetoresistance effect in systems of reduced dimension using various micro and nanofabri...

Because of their far-reaching consequences, truly transformative technologies always generate controversy. This encyclopedia covers the ethical, legal, policy, social, economic, and business issues raised by nanoscience.
Angers, le 15 juillet 1942 Tôt le matin, Isabelle et Émile, un jeune couple d'instituteurs, sont réveillés par des cris, le bruit de portes qui claquent, des pas bruyants dans les escaliers. C'est le début de la rafle des juifs de tout le Grand Ouest. Isabelle, passionnée de photographie, saisit, sans savoir pourquoi, son appareil-photo et va à la fenêtre donnant sur la rue. Émile, inconscient du danger, entrouvre la porte donnant sur le palier. Ses voisins des étages supérieurs, juifs, descendent, paniqués. Parmi eux, madame Gosberg serre sa petite fille Esther dans ses bras. Quand elle l'aperçoit, et après un bref regard autour d'elle, elle lui tend l'enfant. Il la prend et referme prestement la porte. Un village du bord de Loire, janvier 1958 Francine vient d'apprendre sa véritable identité et le drame de juillet 1942. Effondrée, elle demande si ses géniteurs n'ont pas laissé un objet, une photo. Isabelle, après une hésitation, va chercher un cliché qu'elle tend à la jeune fille. Ce cliché va bouleverser leurs vies.
The nanosciences and their companion nanotechnologies are a hot topic all around the world. For some, they promise developments ranging from nanobots to revolutionary new materials. For others, they raise the specter of Big Brother and of atomically modified organisms (AMOs). This book is a counterbalance to spin and paranoia alike, asking us to consider what the nanosciences really are. Nanosciences are not just a branch of materials sciences, a common misrepresentation fostered in the funding wars. Nor should nanotechnology be confused with miniaturization, a convergence of microelectronics, biotechnology and lab-on-chip techniques. These misconceptions arise from a well-orchestrated US po...
