Samenvatting
Serving as a guide to nanoscale technology, science, business, and ethics, this title covers nanotech research, applications, nanobots, quantum and DNA computing, nanosensors, neuro-electronic interfaces, and more. It also offers an assessment of the nanotechnology marketplace and investment opportunities.
Nanotech for everyone! The friendly, non-technical guide to the next industrial revolution. Discover the world's next $1 trillion industry! The easy-to-understand guide to nanoscale technology, science, business, and ethics Today's hottest nanotech research and tomorrow's hottest applications Nanobots, quantum and DNA computing, nanosensors, neuro-electronic interfaces, and much more Insider's assessment of the nanotechnology marketplace and investment opportunities By 2015, nanotechnology could be a $1 trillion industry. Now, renowned nanotech pioneer Mark Ratner and technology entrepreneur Daniel Ratner show you how nanotech works, why it's so exciting, what's new, and what's next. They survey the entire field—technology and business—covering nanobots, molecular electronics, quantum computing, biostructures, nanotubes, molecular motors, nanosensors, and many other breakthrough applications. They provide easy-to-understand explanations of every key concept, plus dozens of visuals that bring nanotechnology to life. Coverage includes: A simple, brief, almost math-free introduction to nanotech science "Grand tour" of nanotech R&D, from "smart materials" to DNA computing Breakthrough biomedical applications, including neuro-electronic interfaces and new drug delivery systems Current and emerging nanotech systems for optoelectronics and communications Nanotech here and now: nano-enhanced tennis balls, suntan lotions, and other products already in the market A realistic assessment of nanotech investment opportunities for the short- and long-term Ethical issues associated with nanotech research and product development
This book is the technical and business overview of tomorrow's scientific breakthrough. The authors survey the scientific research and business aspects of the field, try to explain the key concepts, provide a look at current developments, and give some thoughts on where nanotechnology is likely to go in the next few years. The book will be approachable and witty, with lots of illustrations and examples. The focus of the book is on science and technology, but business is discussed as well. The growing interest in nanotechnology by the investment community and the federal dollars going into nanotechnology are explained. Ratner and Ratner go on to explain why the National Science Foundation has estimated that it could be a $1 trillion market by 2015. Nanotechnology, or, as it is sometimes called, molecular manufacturing, is a branch of engineering that deals with the design and manufacture of extremely small electronic circuits and mechanical devices built at the molecular level of matter. Nanotechnology holds promise in the quest for ever-more-powerful computers and communications devices. But the most fascinating applications are in medical science. Nanorobots might serve as programmable antibodies. As disease-causing bacteria and viruses mutate in their endless attempts to get around medical treatments, nanorobots could be reprogrammed to selectively seek out and destroy them. Other nanorobots might be programmed to single out and kill cancer cells.
