Nanomachines represent one of the most fascinating topics in of
nanotechnology. These tiny devices provide diverse opportunities
towards a wide range of important applications, ranging from
targeted delivery of drug payloads to environmental remediation.
This book addresses comprehensively the latest developments and
discoveries in the field of nano- and microscale machines. It
covers the evolution of nanomachines in general from a historical
perspective, the fundamental challenges for motion at the
nanoscale, different categories of biological and synthetic
nano/microscale motors based on different propulsion mechanisms,
ways for controlling the movement directionality
and regulated speed, followed by detailed of major areas for which
nanomachines has the potential to make a transformational impact.
It ends with a futuristic look at nano/microscale machines and into
their impact on the society.
