Nanotechnology cookbook : practical, reliable and jargon-free experimental procedures / Andrew Collins.

The peculiarities of materials at the nanoscale demand an interdisciplinary approach which can be difficult for students and researchers who are trained predominantly in a single field. A chemist might not have experience at working with cell cultures or a physicist may have no idea how to make the...
