nanoscience

"An acclaimed physicist and debut picture-book author introduces readers to the tiny building blocks that make up the world around us. Elegant, friendly text and stylish illustrations explain atoms, the elements, and other essential science concepts and reveal how very (very) small materials are manipulated to create self-washing windows; stronger, lighter airplanes; and other wonders of nanotechnology. Further explanation in the back matter gives more detail about various scientists' roles and the tools they use. Splashed with bright primary colors, this tribute to the tiny will inspire curious minds of every stripe"--Provided by publisher.

"Tiny robots include everything from a wall climbing microbot to a nanobot that goes inside the human body. Find out just what these awesome machines can do"--Provided by publisher.

A collection of artistic photographs, accompanied by commentary, depicting the complexities of nanoscience. Discusses recent scientific advances, methods of understanding nanostructures, and the risks and benefits of nano/microtechnology to such areas as information processing, computation, and biomedicine. Includes a section describing how the photographic images were created.
