Product Description
Here's a trail-blazing resource that details microchip fabrication using bottom-up DNA self-assembly. This unique book provides a theoretical and practical bridge from today's chip technology to the molecular-scale circuitries that lie ahead. It connects familiar semiconductor concepts to the latest breakthroughs in the use of DNA as construction material, and maps out a detailed method for developing DNA self-assembled computer systems that features case study designs of lightweight self-organizing computer architectures.

Probing both the science and the engineering involved, this one-of-a-kind resource reviews current microchip fabrication methods and architectures and discusses fundamentals of nanoscale design and DNA self-assembly. The book addresses self-assembled circuitry and design issues in depth, explaining DNA scaffolding structures and providing techniques for organizing molecular-scale materials, circuits and architectures. This cutting-edge volume explores current technology limitations involving small scale control and large scale randomness, along with architectural challenges to node design, routing, and interfacing to the microscale. You also find case studies of a nanoscale active network architecture and a self-organizing SIMD architecture that give you a clear look at self-assembled system design pointing the way forward. Concluding with a digest of current practices in DNA nanostructure synthesis and insights into the revolutionary design, fabrication, and operational paradigms raised by the concept of "self assembly," this roadmap to DNA microchip synthesis is indispensable for your work in researching and developing nanoscale computer structures, devices, and applications. ...

Product Description
The research activities in the field of surface engineering have been greatly driven by the realization that the surface is usually the most important part of any engineering component. The scientific research featured deals with fundamental and applied concepts of surface engineering, in particular focusing on the interplay between applied physics, materials science and engineering, computational mechanics and mechanical engineering. The book is devoted to fundamental and applied studies of four interconnected aspects: processing, microstructural features, functional performance as well as the design of an appropriate theoretical and predictive framework of protective surfaces. This volume contains papers presented at the Seventh International Conference on Computational Methods and Experiments in Contact mechanics and Surface Treatment Effects which cover the following areas: Surface treatments; Surface problems in contact mechanics; Failure mechanisms; Coupled analysis and experiments; Thin coatings; Thick coatings; Contact mechanics; Material surfaces in contact; Applications and case studies. ...

Product Description

The field of nanotechnology has seen enormous growth since 2000 and is expected to reach $1 trillion worldwide by 2015. Through a systematic and automated knowledge mapping methodology, authors Hsinchun Chen and Mihail Roco in this book collect, analyze and report on the state of the art in nanotechnology research.

The description, planning and governance of nanotechnology development require data on knowledge creation and innovation in various areas of application, how these evolve in time and what is the international context. This book aims to selectively provide such information based on the analysis of databases for science and engineering articles (Thompson Citation Index) and patents (US Patent Office in the United States, European Patent Office in Europe and the Japanese Patent Office in Japan). After a survey of the investigative methods, comparative results per countries, technology fields and research organizations are presented for articles and patents in parts of the interval 1976 to 2006. Interesting features on the evolution of major research themes and connections between research awards and patents have been obtained via longitudinal investigation of the published articles and patent data, as well as connection between NSF funding in nanotechnology and patents awarded to their principal investigators. The web-based Nano Mapper System, developed for accessing and visualizing nanotechnology patents, articles and NSF awards, is presented in the final chapter.

This ground-breaking volume offers a wealth of information for professors, researchers and students in information technology interested in knowledge mapping methodology and its applications in emerging technology fields; professors, researchers and students in nanotechnology-related fields; executives, managers, analysts and researchers in the nanotechnology industry; and policy makers and analysts in federal governments interested in monitoring the global competitive landscape.
