Book excerpt: Special Features: · HOT TOPIC: Nanotechnology may well rival the development of the transistor or telecommunications in its ultimate impact. -- Charles M. Vest, President, MIT· MASS SCALE INVESTMENTS - Bush signed a bill allocating $3.7 billion dollars to R&D for nanotechnology in Dec 2003 funding every arm of the government including the DoD to NASA, to the Depts. of Commerce and Energy and others too numerous to list. International investment is reported at over $2 billion and this does not scratch the surface of private sector investment (primary industries include pharmaceuticals, IT, car makers and more)· SMART TIMING - Nanotechnology is no longer a topic of science fiction films yet is still in a state where applied uses are limited - this is positioned to change in the next 3-5 years. Get the know-how now before it s too late· WHY? Nanotechnology will change the economy (make more money for corporations and save the govt money) and improve standard of living, much like information technology has· THE HUH? FACTOR - Everyone s heard about it, but no one knows what it is or can do except high-level scientists. Nanotechnology For Dummies debunks the science and technology of nanotechnology in the trademarked fun and easy Dummies way!· WELL-CONNECTED AUTHORS: The authors work in one of the leading nanoscience research centers, founded by 2 Nobel Prize winning scientists (Curl and Smalley) and regularly present at nanotechnology conferences for investors and scientists. Dr. Smalley will be providing a forward for the book About The Book: The text includes a background of nanotechnology, the industries that will be affected by this technology, what limitations these industries have and how nanotechnology will help overcome these limitations. Topics covered under this book are industrial materials, medical, computer and telecommunications, energy, investor s guide etc.

Book excerpt: Winner of a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book Award 2011! Transistors using one electron at a time. Sunscreens made with titanium dioxide particles that look transparent to our eyes but block harmful UV rays. Nanometer-sized specks of gold that change color to red and melt at 750°C instead of 1064°C. Nanotechnology takes the unique physical properties of items measuring roughly 0.1 to 1000 nanometers and puts them to use. Such applications have made nanotechnology a hot topic, but the search for a true introductory resource usually comes up cold. Nano novices come from a wide variety of backgrounds, so an effective text must assume limited understanding of background material and not be overly focused on any particular area. Still, it must maintain scientific rigor and quality. Fitting neatly between popular science books and high-level treatises, Nanotechnology: Understanding Small Systems, Second Edition works from the ground up to provide: A detailed yet accessible introduction to one of the world’s fastest growing fields, understandable to members of a variety of disciplines A clear presentation of real-world examples and original illustrations, as well as hundreds of homework problems of varying types, including multiple choice, true-false, in-depth calculation, and essay (with complete solutions manual) A systems-based approach that illustrates how underlying areas of nano are assembled to create systems with unique functions and characteristics Comparing nanoscale and macroscale systems reveals the complex and fundamental differences between phenomena at different scales and uncovers the specific challenges and opportunities of nano. With its engaging and entertaining style, this book provides a gateway into an exciting and rapidly evolving area of science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone can impact the supply chain Supply Chain Management For Dummies helps you connect the dots between things like purchasing, logistics, and operations to see how the big picture is affected by seemingly isolated inefficiencies. Your business is a system, made of many moving parts that must synchronize to most efficiently meet the needs of your customers—and your shareholders. Interruptions in one area ripple throughout the entire operation, disrupting the careful coordination that makes businesses successful; that's where supply chain management (SCM) comes in. SCM means different things to different people, and many different models exist to meet the needs of different industries. This book focuses on the broadly-applicable Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) Model: Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, Return, and Enable, to describe the basic techniques and key concepts that keep businesses running smoothly. Whether you're in sales, HR, or product development, the decisions you make every day can impact the supply chain. This book shows you how to factor broader impact into your decision making process based on your place in the system. Improve processes by determining your metrics Choose the right software and implement appropriate automation Evaluate and mitigate risks at all steps in the supply chain Help your business function as a system to more effectively meet customer needs We tend to think of the supply chain as suppliers, logistics, and warehousing—but it's so much more than that. Every single person in your organization, from the mailroom to the C-suite, can work to enhance or hinder the flow. Supply Chain Management For Dummies shows you what you need to know to make sure your impact leads to positive outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International interest in nanoscience research has flourished in recent years, as it becomes an integral part in the development of future technologies. The diverse, interdisciplinary nature of nanoscience means effective communication between disciplines is pivotal in the successful utilization of the science. Nanochemistry: A Chemical Approach to Nanomaterials is the first textbook for teaching nanochemistry and adopts an interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach to the subject. It presents a basic chemical strategy for making nanomaterials and describes some of the principles of materials self-assembly over 'all' scales. It demonstrates how nanometre and micrometre scale building blocks (with a wide range of shapes, compositions and surface functionalities) can be coerced through chemistry to organize spontaneously into unprecedented structures, which can serve as tailored functional materials. Suggestions of new ways to tackle research problems and speculations on how to think about assembling the future of nanotechnology are given. Primarily designed for teaching, this book will appeal to graduate and advanced undergraduate students. It is well illustrated with graphical representations of the structure and form of nanomaterials and contains problem sets as well as other pedagogical features such as further reading, case studies and a comprehensive bibliography.
