Nanoelectromechanics in Engineering and Biology

By Michael Pycraft Hughes

Book Overview

Containing a broad survey of research across a wide range of disciplines, Nanoelectromechanics in Engineering and Biology provides a thorough grounding in contemporary knowledge and understanding of the phenomena of nanometer-scale particle manipulation. The author explores how electromechanics can be applied to the sorting of DNA molecules, examining viruses, constructing electronics devices with carbon nanotubes, and actuating nanoscale electric motors. The book also provides a wealth of applications and background knowledge, from using electric fields for particle sorting in laboratories-on-a-chip to electrode fabrication, electric field simulation, and computer analysis.
