V.Balzani, M.Venturi, A.Credi - "Molecular Devices and Machines: A Journey into the Nanoworld"

А интересны ли нам нанотехнологии?
С одной стороны, хорошо - стоит себе у каждого дома нанофабрика размером с небольшой чемоданчик, хочешь - бутерброд, хочешь - кроссовки... Лепота!
А с другой стороны, нашествие "серой слизи", гибель всего живого и т.д. и т.п... Это уже жуть!
Когда и какой из этих вариантов сработает науке неизвестно, пока же почитаем книжку и просто узнаем, с чем едят эти самые нанотехнологии. :)

The miniaturization of bulky devices and machines is a process that confronts us on a daily basis. However, nanoscale machines with varied and novel characteristics may also result from the enlargement of extremely small building blocks, namely individual molecules. This bottom-up approach to nanotechnology is already being pursued in information technology, with many other branches about to follow. - Written by a team of experienced authors headed by Vincenzo Balzani, one of the pioneers in the development of molecular machines - Covers such diverse aspects as sensors, memory components, solar energy conversion, biomolecules as molecular machines, and much more - Presented in a lucid style and didactically structured, with both the expert and the newcomer in mind - Includes a glossary of terms and numerous references to the recent literature Be among the first to explore the fascinating possibilities of this future-oriented technology! A must-have for every chemist and materials scientist with an interest in nanotechnology.
