Optical microscopy is one of the most frequently used tools in chemistry and the life sciences. However, its limited resolution hampers the use of optical imaging to many other relevant problems in different disciplines. Super-Resolution Microscopy (SRM) is a new technique that allows the resolution of objects down to a few billionth of meters (nanometers), ten times better than classical microscopes, opening up opportunities to use this tool in new fields. This book describes the theory, principles, and practice of super-resolution microscopy in the field of materials science and nanotechnology. There is a growing interest in the applications of SRM beyond biology as new synthetic materials...
What Is Nanorobotics An emerging area of technology known as nanoid robotics, often known as nanorobotics or nanobotics for short, is the process of building machines or robots using components that are on the nanometer size or very close to it. To be more exact, the term "nanorobotics" refers to the engineering field of nanotechnology that focuses on the design and construction of nanorobots. These nanorobots have devices that range in size from 0.1 to 10 micrometers and are built from nanoscale or molecular components. Nanobot, nanoid, nanite, nanomachine, and nanomite are a few of the other names that have been thrown about to designate similar machines that are now the subject of study a...
This book stems from the urgent necessity to address neurodegenerative diseases, which are among the most severe health challenges currently confronting society. Neurodegenerative diseases have become a major threat to public health in recent years, impacting millions of people globally and creating a substantial strain on healthcare systems and society as a whole. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are examples of these diseases. This book offers a thorough survey of the latest developments in this rapidly growing field. This book is targeted towards a wide range of readers, including academics, researchers, medical professionals, students, policy makers, and anybody else who is interested in the convergence of neuroscience, nanotechnology, and healthcare. Irrespective of one's familiarity with the subject, this book provides motivation and insightful information to bolster our group's endeavors in combating these debilitating diseases.
Lawrence Grassi was a trailblazer in every sense of the word. A working-class man of humble Italian origins who worked as a labourer and a coal miner for most of his life, Grassi had a deep passion for the Rocky Mountains. He was famous in the region for his commitment as a guide, a mountain climber, and a builder of greatly admired hiking trails. Today, in or near Canmore, his name graces a mountain, two lakes, and a school, and he is commemorated at Lake O'Hara in Yoho National Park. In Lawrence Grassi: From Piedmont to the Rocky Mountains, Elio Costa and Gabriele Scardellato uncover the deeply private man behind this legend, from his birth in the small Italian village of Falmenta to his long and inspirational career in Canada. Using previously unexamined family letters and extensive information on Grassi's cohort of Italian immigrants, the authors reconstruct his personal and professional life, correcting myths and connecting his story to the long history of Italian immigration to Canada. The definitive biography of this Canadian mountain hero, Lawrence Grassi will be essential reading for those interested in the history of immigration, sport, and the Rocky Mountains.
Smart Nanoparticles for Biomedicine explores smart nanoparticles that change their structural or functional properties in response to specific external stimuli (electric or magnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation, ultrasound, etc.). Particular attention is given to multifunctional nanostructured materials that are pharmacologically active and that can be actuated by virtue of their magnetic, dielectric, optically-active, redox-active, or piezoelectric properties. This important reference resource will be of great value to readers who want to learn more on how smart nanoparticles can be used to create more effective treatment solutions. Nanotechnology has enabled unprecedented control of t...

Self-assembling biomaterials: molecular design, characterization and application in biology and medicine provides a comprehensive coverage on an emerging area of biomaterials science, spanning from conceptual designs to advanced characterization tools and applications of self-assembling biomaterials, and compiling the recent developments in the field. Molecular self-assembly, the autonomous organization of molecules, is ubiquitous in living organisms and intrinsic to biological structures and function. Not surprisingly, the exciting field of engineering artificial self-assembling biomaterials often finds inspiration in Biology. More important, materials that self-assemble speak the language ...
Che cos'è la nanorobotica Un'area tecnologica emergente nota come robotica nanoide, spesso nota come nanorobotica o nanobotica in breve, è il processo di costruzione di macchine o robot che utilizzano componenti che sono sulla dimensione del nanometro o molto vicino ad essa. Per essere più precisi, il termine "nanorobotica" si riferisce al campo dell'ingegneria delle nanotecnologie che si concentra sulla progettazione e costruzione di nanorobot. Questi nanorobot hanno dispositivi di dimensioni comprese tra 0,1 e 10 micrometri e sono costruiti con componenti su scala nanometrica o molecolare. Nanobot, nanoid, nanite, nanomachine e nanomite sono alcuni degli altri nomi che sono stati usati ...
