Harvard University Press No Small Matter
Book SynopsisNo Small Matter uses dazzling images and evocative descriptions to reveal the virtually invisible realities and possibilities of nanoscience. It considers both the benefits and the risks of nano/microtechnologyfrom the potential of quantum computers and single-molecule genomic sequencers to the concerns about self-replicating nanosystems.Trade ReviewHoly cow! It’s exceptionally rare that science is rendered in such lucid, thoughtful, charming fashion. But I am not sure I’ve ever encountered a beautiful book as important as this one, or vice-versa. ‘Awesome’ is an overused phrase these days, but No Small Matter is exactly, totally, gratifyingly that. -- Kurt Andersen, host of PRI’s Studio 360Reorienting our eye to the nanoscale is No Small Matter. This coffee-table book juxtaposes images and ideas to encapsulate the significance of size and shape… Exploring where art meets science, the authors search for promising paths to make small-scale science more intuitive… Frankel and Whitesides’s book adds gravitas and nuance to the popularization of nanotechnology, articulating its interest and vast opportunities. -- Jeremy Baumberg * Nature *It is hard to grasp what we cannot see, even harder when not even a microscope can see it. With unmatched clarity and arresting elegance, Frankel and Whitesides have designed a narrative and visual voyage into the nanouniverse, revealing its basic constructs without sacrificing its magic. -- Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator of Architecture and Design, MoMA: The Museum of Modern ArtWhitesides, a professor at Harvard University, is one of the most productive chemists in the world and arguably one of the most inventive. He brings this spirit to the book, an entertaining jaunt through the world of the micro- and nanoscale. The short essays, each dripping with enthusiasm for the topic, are roughly themed around the importance of scientific endeavour on this scale to such areas as medicine, modern computing and the quantum world. It’s not just the text that playfully explores some of the stranger aspects of the invisible world. Frankel’s photography can be equally creative, most obviously in a photo of a quantum apple with a shadow that appears to belong to a cube. The pictures are a mix of traditional photography, CGI and images produced using various microscopic techniques, and are dazzling in the best coffee-table tradition. The text is just as vibrant, which makes cover-to-cover reading a slightly exhausting experience—but worth it when it rewards the reader with such gems as why young children at a party behave like cellular molecules, or how Beethoven had much in common with plants. -- Colin Barras * New Scientist *A book that’s elegant in appearance, elegant in its images of the nanoworld and elegant in prose. -- Robert Fulford * National Post *Seemingly invisible objects such as viruses and molecules are imaged in rich detail through high-powered microscopes and photography. * Science News *No Small Matter: Science on the Nanoscale by Felice C. Frankel and George M. Whitesides shows a world that is beyond our senses and reality. Through text, beautiful pictures, and illustrations, No Small Matter shows the small and (some of) the large things that we are ignorant about or take for granted. -- Edmond Woychowsky * TechRepublic *No Small Matter conveys science on the nanoscale through a remarkable series of photographs… This is a brilliant book that will help a wide readership to appreciate the wonders of the very small. -- Andrew Briggs * Times Higher Education *[Frankel and Whitesides] present a game, insightful attempt to illustrate reality at the very smallest scales, where lengths are measured in billionths of a meter… Frankel’s intricate work reveals a world of unexpected textures and landscapes… This visual and intellectual treat is best absorbed at leisure, with ample time for pondering the new relationships each topic reveals. * Publishers Weekly *As modern science has explored the deepest foundations of the physical world, its discoveries have become ever harder to make sense of, ever more remote from everyday life. Yet these same discoveries have transformed our everyday lives, and continue to do so. Felice Frankel and George Whitesides are masters at the art of envisioning the invisible. In this beautiful and beautifully written book, they open our minds’ eyes to the thrillingly enigmatic world that we inhabit, embody, and create. -- Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen

Spiraling out from this central insight, Nanovision explores the cultural and social implications of nanotechnology through a wide range of material-semiotic-discursive effects. Witty, incisive, and insightful, Nanovision is essential reading for anyone interested in where we are now and where we might be headed.”—N. Katherine Hayles, Duke University“There has been so much hype and controversy surrounding nanotech that it has been hard to figure out what it really is or might become. This wonderful book spectacularly clarifies matters, providing the new field with its history and with a paradigm that allows us to judge its present situation and whatever future may emerge. That Colin Milburn is also often wickedly funny is much appreciated, and a very appropriate response to nanotech’s constant evocations of paradise or apocalypse.”—Kim Stanley Robinson, author of the Mars TrilogyTable of ContentsAcknowledgments vii Introduction: The Singularity of Nanovision 1 1.

Royal Society of Chemistry Miniaturization and Mass Spectrometry
Book SynopsisThe recent explosion in the use of analytical chemistry, particularly in the biological sciences, has led to a need for fast, reliable and highly sensitive tools able to handle small sample sizes. This book illustrates how microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices can satisfy the growing need for miniaturized and enhanced analysis. They lend themselves well to mass spectrometric detection as they use samples in the low microlitre range and are handled on a chip. Miniaturization and Mass Spectrometry focuses on one particular technique, mass spectrometry, whose popularity has increased dramatically in the last two decades with the increase in use of biological analysis and the development of two soft ionization techniques, ESI and MALDI. These enable the analysis of large but fragile biological molecules such as DNA, proteins and oligosaccharides.

Royal Society of Chemistry Bionanodesign
Book SynopsisThe progress of today''s science and technology encounters an increasing demand for finer and more efficiently performing materials with properties superior over those of current and hence ageing devices. Whether this is concerned with electronics or drug delivery, cancer diagnostics or alternative energy sources, the search for means of miniaturizing the existing materials or devising fundamentally new components with higher capacities appears to be relentless. A saving solution to this is widely proposed as the design and fabrication of nanostructures, molecular architectures with dimensions featured below 100 nm. Replicating Nature''s designs faithfully reproduced over millions of years provides perhaps the most straightforward route to success. Nature offers examples of nanodefined self-assemblies in virtually all levels of biological organization. However explicit guidance to the fabrication of functional or specialist nanostructures is of paramount importance.Nanotechnology is often referred to as building nanoscale structures from bottom up. However, while it is visually clear what is at up little is given and understood what is at the bottom. This new book gives the notion of and provides rules for building nanostructures from basics - the very bottom. The main objective of this publication is to bring together contemporary approaches for designing nanostructures that employ naturally derived self-assembling motifs as synthetic platforms. The book has been written to satisfy the demands that motivate the search for and principles that prove to help the design of novel nanostructures. The overall goal is to compile the existing understanding of rules that govern biomolecular self-assembly into a practical guide to molecular nanotechnology. It is written in the shape of a review referenced as fully as permissible within the context of biomolecular design, which forms a general trend throughout. The volume is composed of three core chapters focusing on three prominent topics of applied nanotechnology where the role of nanodesign is predominant. The three key areas from which popular highlights can be drawn are:-employing the genetic repository, DNA, for creating various geometric nanoscale objects and patterns-the empirical pursuit of an artificial virus, a magic bullet in gene therapy-designing artificial extracellular matrices for regenerative medicineSpecific applications that arise from designed nanoscale assemblies as well as fabrication and characterization techniques are of secondary importance and whenever they appear serve as progress and innovation highlights. The book takes an unconventional approach in delivering material of this kind. It does not lead straight to applications or methods as most nanotechnology works tend to do, but instead it focuses on the initial and primary aspect of nano rather than on technology. Nanodesign is unique in its own field - illustrations are essential and the cohort of brilliant bioinspired designs reported to date form a major part of the publication. In addition, key bibliographic references are covered as fully as possible. A special appendix giving a short list of leading world laboratories engaged in bioinspired nanodesign is also included.Trade Review"Ryadnov's review of bioinspired nanomaterials is a timely contribution to this fast-paced field." -- JACS, 132, 1443-1444 Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) - NO LONGER ACCEPTING REVIEWSTable of Contents1 - Introductory notes; Inspiring hierarchical; Encoding instructive; Starting lowest; Picturing biological; 2 - Re-cycling hereditary; Coding dual; Deoxyribonucleic; Building up in two; Keeping in shape; Priming topological; Re-sequencing basic; Choosing the fittest; Evolving diverse; Primary motifs; Gluing universal; Alienating axial; Fixing spatial; Hinting geometric: secondary motifs; Crossing double; Reporting visible; Translating symmetrical; Extending cohisive; Sharing mutual; Multiplying traversal; Tiling square; Scaffolding algorithmic; Pursuing autonomous; Lengthening to shorten; Gathering to limit; Assigning arbitrary; Synchronizing local; Prescribing general; Adding up to third; Wrapping to shut; Framing to classify; Outlook; References; 3- Re-caging within; Enclosing to deliver; Transporting foreign; Fitting flat and straight; Spiralling along; Packing out and in; Spooling around; Tunnelling through; Escaping walled; Capturing on and off; Storing exchangeable; Reacting nano; Clustering spherical; Contriving consistent; Scaling hosting; Following linear; Channelling inner; Converting outer; Repairing from inside; Uninviting levy; Necessitating exterior; Antagonising dressing; Buffering masking; Renting occasional; Phasing wet; Facing concentric; Encircling between; Singling out unique; Sharing the balance; Driving symmetrical; Sealing annular; Outlook; References; 4 - Re-assembling multiple; Keeping all in touch; Unravelling the essential; Winding three in one; Aligning stagger; Tapering polar; Branching and stretching; Replicating apparent; Scrapping refusal; Tempting compatible; Likening synthetic; Recovering intelligent; Restoring available; Prompting longitudinal; Invoking granted; Reposing modular; Displacing coil; Settling lateral; Bundling exclusive; Permitting distinctive; Inviting captive; Clearing limiting; Equilibrating transitional; Extracting minimal; Gambling beyond; Guiding proliferative; Feeding proximate; Rooting renewal; Accepting inescapable; Patterning positional; Relating interfacial; Grafting integral; Outlook; References; 5 - Concluding remarks; Learning fluent; Parsing semantic; Drawing pragmatic; 6 - Revealing contributory

Royal Society of Chemistry Phage Nanobiotechnology
Book SynopsisSeveral books and many papers have been published during the last decade on the design and the use of new nanomaterials in medicine and technology, which describe major concepts of nanotechnology. Meanwhile, a new promising type of nanomaterials-bacteriophages-emerged recently as a result of the evolution of phage display technique. Bacteriophages have a unique feature - completely the opposite of other nanomaterials -their structure and function are encrypted in their genomic DNA, which can be intentionally modified or even rewritten using routine genetic engineering techniques. In particular, a paradigm of landscape phage with multivalently displayed foreign peptides evolved, which allows constructing phage with unique surface architectures and emerged properties. Recently, phage, as a new kind of nanomaterials attracted the attention of specialists working in peripheral, and even very diverse areas from genetics and molecular biology, such as pharmaceutical science, material science, microelectronics, biosensors, detection, environmental sciences, etc. Penetration of the phage technology into these new disciplines required the development of a new instructive concept, which resulted in this publication. This comprehensive book, of value to researchers as well as scientists, introduces readers into this hot new area of phage nanobiotechnology. It summarises the existing data on the phage nanomaterials and discusses their use in different areas of medicine, science and technology. With contributions by top level experts and pioneers in phage display, the major goal of this book is to bring the phage display technique closer to specialists in these diverse areas of medicine, science and technology, where phage-derived nanomaterials can be most beneficial.Table of ContentsStructure of Filamentous Phage Particles and Their Components; Amplification and Self Assemblage of Phage Particles; Evolution of Phage Display towards Nanotechnology; Imaging with Phage Derived Probes; Phage-Derived Vectors for Gene Delivery; Phage-Mediated Drug Delivery; Phage Immunogens and Vaccines; Phage-Templated Synthesis of Inorganic Nanomaterials; Phage-based Biorecognition Interfaces in Biosensors; Reporting phage for detection of biological threats; Site-Directed Chemical Modification of Phage Particles; Combinatorial Phage Nanobiotechnology
