21st Century Nanoscience - A Handbook: Public Policy Education and Global Trends (Volume 10) will be the most comprehensive up-to-date large reference work for the field of nanoscience. Its predecessor Handbook of Nanophysics by the same editor was published in the fall of 2010 and was embraced as the first comprehensive reference to consider both fundamental and applied aspects of nanophysics. This follow-up project has been conceived as a necessary expansion and full update that considers the significant advances made in the field since 2010. It goes well beyond the physics as warranted by recent developments in the field. This tenth volume in a ten-volume set covers nanophotonics nanoelectronics and nanoplasmonics. Key Features: Provides the most comprehensive up-to-date large reference work for the field. Chapters written by international experts in the field. Emphasizes presentation and real results and applications. This handbook distinguishes itself from other works by its breadth of coverage readability and timely topics. The intended readership is very broad from students and instructors to engineers physicists chemists biologists biomedical researchers industry professionals governmental scientists and others whose work is impacted by nanotechnology. It will be an indispensable resource in academic government and industry libraries worldwide. The fields impacted by nanophysics extend from materials science and engineering to biotechnology biomedical engineering medicine electrical engineering pharmaceutical science computer technology aerospace engineering mechanical engineering food science and beyond. .
