Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book certainly belongs in any library that serves a technically oriented clientele be it engineering, physics, chemistry or medicine." (E-STREAMS, February 2006)

"…an interesting and useful book. Its breadth of coverage and extensive list of references will certainly provide scientists in related field an effective entry point to nanoscience/nanotechnology." (Journal of Chemical Education, November 2005)

"... provide a good foundation for thinking about the applications of nanotechnology, and the book is well illustrated, including explanatory diagrams to assist in the understanding of scientific principles.... This book has the potential to become a helpful textbook for students interested in nanoscience." (ChemPhysChem)

"The text provides clear motivations for the growing interest in nanotechnology, and then later expands on the science and technology in detail. Background science tutorials and homework problems are woven in throughout the text... It is refreshing to see that Wolf provides both physical and biological examples of interesting functional nanostructures... The book provides a clear introduction to nanophysics for beginning students or for interdisciplinary researchers needing a crash course in nanophysics." (MRS Bulletin, November 2005)

Book Description
Providing the first self-contained introduction to the physical concepts, techniques and applications, the author covers the entire spectrum from the latest examples of nanoscale systems right up to single-electron and molecular electronics. Besides comprehensively presenting the scientific background, he also concludes with a look at the long-term outcomes.
