Encyclopedia Biomedical

Welcome to physics, the science of relativity and gravitation, matter and energy, quarks and quanta, lasers and masers, and many other intriguing scientific areas.
Since the appearance of the second edition many new developments have become impor- tant, and this edition has been expanded to include as many as possible of these new ideas without neglecting older, but still valid, concepts.

The Encyclopedia of Nanotechnology provides a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary reference to the many fields relevant to the general field of nanotechnology. It aims to be a comprehensive and genuinely international reference work and will be aimed at graduate students, researchers, and practitioners.
