Nanobots, nanoprobes, nanoswarms, nanogenes the list goes on. Nanotechnology is a staple of science fiction and has a rather chequered history when it comes to public perception: will swarms of sentient nanomachines ultimately take over the world or will nanotech give us nothing more than improved sun creams? As this \u003cem\u003eVery Short Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e shows, the science underpinning nanotechnology is equally as fascinating as the best nano-inspired sci-fi. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, Philip Moriarty introduces the key scientific themes and concepts underpinning the field, including interatomic and intermolecular forces, single atom imaging, quantum confinement, self-assembly, molecular machinery, and nanomagnetism. Moriarty includes results from ground-breaking scientific studies, such as scanning probe microscope images of atomic and molecular \"landscapes\", providing visceral and intuitive insights into the nanoscopic world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eABOUT THE SERIES: \u003cem\u003eThe Very Short Introductions\u003c\/em\u003e series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
