Nanotechnology is a buzz word many of us have heard but are uncertain what it really means. This book works to dispel the myths and unravel the truth about this branch of science and technology that has already touched many aspects of our lives, from cheaper and faster medical diagnostic tools and more effective ways to deliver existing ones to helping to create new medicines and electronic devices. Size Really Does Matter starts by looking at the science and history of nanotechnology, followed by real-life examples of how it is used, what cutting-edge research is being carried out and why, and potential risks of this exciting new technology. It is written in an accessible style with genuine enthusiasm for the topics it addresses, including how nanotechnology hopes to address problems in several fields, such as cancer research, novel devices, new materials and improved manufacturing methods for existing products.

Dr Colm Durkan is the founder and Head of the Applied Nanoscience and Nanoscale Engineering research group at the Nanoscience Centre of the University of Cambridge. He is also a fellow of Girton College, Cambridge. He obtained his primary degree and PhD in Physics from Trinity College Dublin. After spending a postdoctoral stint at Konstanz University in Germany, he came to work in Cambridge in 1997 where he has been ever since. He has been a university lecturer with full tenure since July 2000 and a Reader in Nanoscale Engineering since October 2010. At the university, he has developed and taught courses on nanotechnology, quantum mechanics and electronics. He was elected to a fellowship of the Institute of Physics in 2009 and the Institute of Engineering & Technology in 2014 for his work in nanotechnology. Colm's research interests lie in understanding how and why the properties of materials change dramatically when those materials are of nanometer dimensions and how to make practical use of that, and in the properties of surfaces. He has led industrial collaborations with BP, Unilever, Samsung and Nokia, and loves nothing more than exploring new phenomena in the lab. Colm lives in Cambridge with his family.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 'The text is lightly written but, underneath the entertaining gloss of anecdote and personal detail, this is actually an intensely serious and carefully constructed book, aimed at informing the educated public about science in general and nanotechnology in particular. It is attractively produced, with innumerable well-captioned coloured images To my mind, Colm Durkan has succeeded in combining the accessible style of the best science journalists with the authority and vision that come from being a successful scientist and an expert in his field.'Contemporary PhysicsNanotechnology is a buzz word many of us have heard but are uncertain what it really means.
