addressing the control, modification and fabrication of materials,
structures and devices with nanometre precision and the synthesis
of such structures into systems of micro- and macroscopic
dimensions. Future applications of nanoscale science and technology
include motors smaller than the diameter of a human hair and
single-celled organisms programmed to fabricate materials with
nanometer precision.
Miniaturisation has revolutionised the semiconductor industry by
making possible inexpensive integrated electronic circuits
comprised of devices and wires with sub-micrometer dimensions.
These integrated circuits are now ubiquitous, controlling
everything from cars to toasters. The next level of
miniaturisation, beyond sub-micrometer dimensions into nanoscale
dimensions (invisible to the unaided human eye) is a booming area
of research and development. This is a very hot area of research
with large amounts of venture capital and government funding being
invested worldwide, as such Nanoscale Science and Technology has a
broad appeal based upon an interdisciplinary approach, covering
aspects of physics, chemistry, biology, materials science and
electronic engineering. Kelsall et al present a coherent approach
to nanoscale sciences, which will be invaluable to graduate level
students and researchers and practising engineers and product
designers.
Robert W Kelsall is Course director for the joint Leeds/Sheffield MSc in Nanoscale Science and Technology, which was one of the first (and is currently one of the largest) taught postgraduate nanotechnology programmes to be established in Europe. Ian Hamley and Mark Geoghegan are both actively involved in the delivery of the course. All three Editors manage substantial research programmes covering low-dimensional semiconductor devices, structured surfaces and interfaces, polymers and soft matter.
