Books

This book has a number of different chapters from different authors. Each author seems to have had good experience in the nanotech field relating his experiences overview knowledge and expectations in the future. I liked the fact that they referred to very current day progress and studies they had done in their own laboratories giving it a very real experience. They also gave a good overview of future nanotech and did not go overboard on radical futuristic predications grounding their vision both on scientific limits and what exists in nature already.Its a short book (140+ pages) and managed to read through it very quickly based on its interesting content and well written nature. I'd recommend it for people who have great interest in nanotechnology and are making their first few steps.

The book shows you how to take advantage of the performance benefits of microfluidics and serves as your instant reference for state-of-the-art microfluidics technology and applications. The wide range of applications discussed include fluid control devices, gas and fluid measurement devices, medical testing equipment, and implantable drug pumps. You find practical guidance in choosing the best fabrication and enabling technology for a specific microfluidic application, and learn how to design a microfluidic device. Moreover, you get simple calculations, ready-to-use data tables, and rules of thumb that help you make design decisions and determine device characteristics quickly.

Designed for non-scientists, Six Easy Pieces is an unparalleled introduction to the world of physics by one of the greatest teachers of all time.  The late Richard P. Feynman was Richard Chace Tolman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology. He was awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize for his work on the development of quantum field theory. He was also one of the most famous and beloved figures of the 20th century, both in physics and in the public arena.

This was the first comprehensive book to address the design of RF MEMS-based circuits for use in high performance wireless systems. A groundbreaking research and reference tool, the book enables you to understand the realm of applications of RF MEMS technology; become knowledgeable of the wide variety and performance levels of RF MEMS devices; and partition the architecture of wireless systems to achieve greater levels of performance. This innovative resource also guides you through the design process of RF MEMS-based circuits, and establishes a practical knowledge base for the design of high-yield RF MEMS-based circuits.
