Katsuhiko Ariga & Mitsuhiro Ebara 
Materials Nanoarchitectonics 

A unique overview of the manufacture of and applications for materials nanoarchitectonics, placing otherwise hard-to-find information in context.
Edited by highly respected researchers from the most renowned materials science institute in Japan, the first part of this volume focuses on the fabrication and characterization of zero to three-dimensional nanomaterials, while the second part presents already existing as well as emerging applications in physics, chemistry, biology, and biomedicine.
