No Small Matter
Felice C. Frankel
George M. Whitesides
A small revolution is remaking the world. The only problem is, we can’t see it. This book uses dazzling images and evocative descriptions to reveal the virtually invisible realities and possibilities of nanoscience. This book considers both the benefits and the risks of nano/microtechnology—from the potential of quantum computers and single-molecule genomic sequencers to the concerns about self-replicating nanosystems.An introduction to the science and technology of small things, No Small Matter explains science on the nanoscale.
