Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Nanoscience and nanotechnology are recent advancements in the field of science and technology. Nanoscience is not just microtechnology on a smaller scale; it is much more than a mere improvement on previous forms of technology. Nanoscience is a completely new production process in a molecular world, opening up possibilities far beyond what we have known before. Researches in nanotechnology have a great impact on existing knowledge. And a revolution is expected in all fields of science—medicine, physics, chemistry, biotechnology, etc.—in the near future. Encyclopaedic dictionary of Nanoscience (in three volumes) compiles major relevant terms pertaining to nanoscience/nanotechnology. The descriptions and definitions are drawn from different authoritative sources to make it a dependable reference tool.
