Understanding Nanotechnology
Based on contributions to the inaugural conference of the Society for the Study of Nanoscience and Emerging Technologies, this title deals with such questions as: How should science and policy relate? Are science and society converging in new ways? What is the relationship between representation and intervention?
Innovation and Responsibility
Engaging with New and Emerging Technologies. The contributions to this volume engage with diverse aspects of responsible innovation, reflecting on its history and its current form, reporting on success stories and critical discussions, pointing out shortcomings and obstacles, and analyzing the grand narratives that shape discourse on new and emerging fields of technoscience. They scrutinize the roles of major actor groups, including regulators, scientists and civil society organizations, while also addressing key issues of public engagement and participation. In addition to nanotechnology, several other fields of research and
Nanotechnology Past and Present
This is an introduction to the nanoscale for science, computer science, and engineering disciplines. That said, there does not exist an educational discipline, market segment, or career avenue which will not be impacted by nanotechnology. Nanoscience and nanotechnology, the application of the research-based nanoscale science, have changed significantly over the last three and a half decades. The “bucky” ball, 60 carbon atoms arranged like a soccer ball, and an often-used symbol of nanotechnology, was discovered in 1985 and 4 years later scientists at IBM were able to manipulate xenon atoms on a surface. In the intervening years, nanotechnology has evolved from a singly focused research t...
Nanotechnology
Inside the Emerging Multibillion-Dollar Nanotechnology Industry Suddenly, nanotechnology isn't science fiction or mere theory: It's becoming one of the world's fastest-growing, highest-impact industries. InNanotechnology: Science, Innovation, and Opportunity, the field's leading experts offer an up-to-the-minute briefing on where the industry stands now, how it will unfold over the coming decade, and how it will impact you. Edited by a key industry advisor, this book covers the latest in nanotech science, technology, and applications. You'll meet the key players, and discover nanotech at work in fields ranging from drug delivery to energy efficiency. Here are the opportunities, the challenge...
Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology
The purpose of the conference was to promote international collaborations in the broad areas of advanced materials and nanotechnology, with a particular emphasis on new and emerging technologies. New research was presented by scientists from around the world, providing an up to date snapshot of progress in these fields.
Ethical Assessments of Emerging Technologies
This book systematically addresses the issue of assessing the normative nature of visions of emerging technologies in an epistemologically robust way. In the context of democratic governance of emerging technologies, not only it is important to reflect on technologies’ moral significance, but also to address their emerging and future oriented character. The book proposes an original approach to deal with the issue of “plausible” ethical evaluation of new technologies. Taking its start from current debates about Technology Assessment, the proposed solution emerges as a combination of theoretical and methodological insights from the fields of Philosophy of Technology, Science and Technol...
Nanoconvergence
In Nanoconvergence , William Sims Bainbridge tours the future of science and technology in plain, nontechnical English. Bainbridge draws on an extraordinary breadth and depth of knowledge, based on his unique role at the epicenter of the nanoconvergence revolution. He successfully integrates insights from far-reaching scientific fields into a compelling human story—offering powerful insights you can use to plan your career, seek new investment opportunities, or simply understand what's coming next. Discover new breakthroughs in measuring, manipulating, and organizing matter at the nanoscale and the implications of those advances See why science fiction's view of nanotechnology is wrong and why the truth is even more exciting Preview new technologies built on the principles of cognitive science and enabled by nanotechnology Learn how nanotechnology may save Moore's Law, allowing computers to double in power every year for the next two decades Discover why nanoconvergence may spark a renaissance in the social sciences Examine the potential impact of scientific and technological convergence on human society and diversity
Nano-society
Each of the chapters is based on a particular scientific paper that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal and, while each story revolves around one or two scientists who were interviewed for this book, many, if not most, of the scientific accomplishments covered in the book are the result of collaborative efforts by several scientists and research groups, often from different organizations and from different countries. The book is different to other books in this field because it provides a novel human touch to nanotechnology research by not only covering a wide range of research topics but also the (often nameless) scientists behind this research. The book is a collection of Spotlight articles from the popular Nanowerk website and each article has been crafted with the author(s) of a scientific paper and signed off by them prior to being posted on Nanowerk.
Nanotechnology
The emergence of nanoscience portends a revolution in technology that will soon impact virtually every facet of our technological lives. Yet there is little understanding of what it is among the educated public and often among scientists and engineers in other disciplines. Furthermore, despite the emergence of undergraduate courses on the subject, no basic textbooks exist.Nanotechnology: Basic Science and Emerging Technologies bridges the gap between detailed technical publications that are beyond the grasp of nonspecialists and popular science books, which may be more science fiction than fact. It provides a fascinating, scientifically sound treatment, accessible to engineers and scientists...
Nanoparticles in Diagnosis, Drug Delivery and Nanotherapeutics
The integration of nanotechnology with biomaterials, diagnostic tools, analytical equipment, physiotherapy kits, and drug delivery agents has resulted in nanotherapeutics illustrated as a class of medicine with potential of research and development. This book illustrates synthesis, properties, and applications of nanotherapeutics in various healthcare-related issues including treatment of cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, targeted drug delivery, anti-HIV-1 nanotherapeutics, antibacterial/antiviral agents, skin therapy, and hyperthermia. Features: Consolidates different aspects of nanoparticles such as synthesis and types of nanotherapeutics in a detailed manner Presents categorical classification of nanoparticles as therapeutics Covers the sustainability of nanotherapeutics Reviews fabrication and advancement of all categories of nanotherapeutics Discusses specific applications such as in cancer therapy, skin treatments, and targeted drug delivery This book is aimed at researchers, professionals, and senior undergraduate students in materials and medical science, biomedical engineering, and nanotechnology
