Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 15-Volume Set

ABOUT THIS ENCYCLOPEDIA (New 15 VOLUMES SET)
The first 10-volume set of this encyclopedia proved to be a milestone for the scientific community working in the field of nanotechnology. Given the tremendous success of the first 10-volumes and fast research development in the different fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology, it was decided to bring new volumes summarizing emerging nanotechnologies over the past several years. The new 15 volumes contain much longer articles and supplement the best-selling encyclopedia which initially appeared in 2004. The new 15 volumes contain 100% of new state-of-the-art 300 articles organized in an A-Z format, more than 900 contributing authors, 60,000 bibliographic references, 6600 figures, 600 tables and hundreds of equations to provide a complete coverage of advanced research in all nanotechnology related fields such as chemistry, physics, engineering and medical sciences. Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is a landmark reference in the continuously emerging field of nanotechnology containing hundreds of descriptive images/figures/illustrations in color for a better representation like earlier 10-volume set published in 2004. The comprehensive coverage of advanced topics in the new 15 volumes reflects emphasis on emerging nanotechnologies. The most expanded, this classic reference is one of the best books in the world. It is the most comprehensive and unique reference with a very broad and wide-ranging coverage in the field of nanotechnology that establishes this encyclopedia apart from other similar types of titles.

REVIEWS:

"American Scientific Publisher's Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is an excellent scientific encyclopedia. It provides an excellent breath and depth of information that is particularly suited to benefit a broad spectrum of non-professional and professional researchers.......it is an excellent set that should provide sound information for several years to come."

Alice Trussell, Director, Kansas State University Fiedler Engineering Library, USA
E-STREAMS Vol. 7, September 2004

"The Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is the world's first single most comprehensive reference source ever published in the field of nanotechnology. This encyclopedia is an indispensable source for any research professional as well as for technology investors and developers seeking up-to-date information on the nanotechnology among a wide range of disciplines from science to engineering to medicine. It should inspire future generations of academic and industrial researchers who endeavor to develop new nanoscale materials and devices."

Professor Richard E. Smalley, Nobel Prize Laureate in Chemistry

"In view of the great interest that Nanoscience and Nanotechnology are attracting, the rapid development they are experiencing and of the profound impact they will have, an Encyclopedia covering this field is most welcome. It should become a source of inspiration as well as of information for a very wide range of scientists."
