Devices measured in nanometers-billionths of a meter-have set off a nanotechnology revolution. In \u003ci\u003eTravels to the Nanoworld\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Gross takes us deep into this miniature universe and describes natural processes and new technologies that will make modern machines look like relics from the Stone Age. Starting with the model of the living cell, whose vital processes are directed and carried out by structures with dimensions on the nanometer scale, Gross shows how biochemists are beginning to understand the mechanisms of the \"nanotechnology of nature.\" Soon science will have the knowledge and technology to generate artificial systems that will perform similar tasks, and through them will find new treatments for disease, substitutes for toxic waste, and alternatives to carbon fuel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Gross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738204447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738204444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.20w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2001 pg. 150","brand":"Michael Gross","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443639234815,"sku":"9780738204444","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed409109-fdda-482a-a182-9e428b604f91.jpg?v=1777206810","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/travels-to-the-nanoworld-michael-gross-9780738204444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
