Nanoscience is the fastest growing and most significant area of
scientific exploration of our time In Nanoscience: Giants of the
Infinitesimal, award-winning science writer Peter Forbes and
sculptor Tom Grimsey explore the amazing possibilities that
nanotechnology offers us, from clean harvesting solar energy and
finding cost-effective methods to desalinate sea water, to the
production of smart materials that alter their shape, texture or
other properties when coming into contact with electric or magnetic
fields. Nanoscience shows the astonishing beauty of the nanoworld,
the iridescense of butterfly wings or peacock feathers that is
produced not by pigments but by structures invisible to the naked
eye. Science looks out into deep space in wonder but our actual
presence there will always be limited. We look deep into the heart
of the atom but can only understand its structure by breaking it.
Between these two ends of the spectrum is nanoscience, the fastest
growing and most significant area of scientific exploration of our
time.
