How can we understandmachines that are so small? Nanosystems covers it all: powerand strength, friction and wear, thermal noise and quantumuncertainty. This is the book for starting the next century ofengineering.\" - Marvin Minsky\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e MIT Science magazine calls Eric Drexler \"Mr. Nanotechnology.\"For years, Drexler has stirred controversy by declaring thatmolecular nanotechnology will bring a sweeping technologicalrevolution - delivering tremendous advances in miniaturization,materials, computers, and manufacturing of all kinds. Now, he'swritten a detailed, top-to-bottom analysis of molecular machinery -how to design it, how to analyze it, and how to build it.Nanosystems is the first scientifically detailed description ofdevelopments that will revolutionize most of the industrialprocesses and products currently in use.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This groundbreaking work draws on physics and chemistry toestablish basic concepts and analytical tools. The book thendescribes nanomechanical components, devices, and systems,including parallel computers able to execute 1020 instructions persecond and desktop molecular manufacturing systems able to makesuch products. Via chemical and biochemical techniques, proximalprobe instruments, and software for computer-aided moleculardesign, the book charts a path from present laboratory capabilitiesto advanced molecular manufacturing. Bringing together physics,chemistry, mechanical engineering, and computer science,Nanosystems provides an indispensable introduction to theemerging field of molecular nanotechnology.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePHYSICAL PRINCIPLES.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Classical Magnitudes and Scaling Laws.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Potential Energy Surfaces.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Molecular Dynamics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Positional Uncertainty.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Transitions, Errors, and Damage.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Energy Dissipation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Mechanosynthesis.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Nanoscale Structural Components.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Mobile Interfaces and Moving Parts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Intermediate Subsystems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Nanomechanical Computational Systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Molecular Sorting, Processing, and Assembly.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Molecular Manufacturing Systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Macromolecular Engineering.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Paths to Molecular Manufacturing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Afterword.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Symbols, Units, and Constants.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Glossary.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e References.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Computer science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Computer science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Computer%20science%20%5BUY%5D%22\"\u003eUY\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52470065922328,"sku":"9780471575184","price":51.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471575184.jpg?v=1785631014","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/nanosystems-molecular-machinery-manufacturing-and-computation-paperback-softback-9780471575184","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
