At the close of the nineteenth century, we stood on the threshold of one of the greatest periods of science, in which the entire world and understanding of science would be shaken to the core and greatly modified. This explosion of knowledge led ultimately to that same information revolution that we live in today.

Nanostructured materials offer an unprecedented degree of control of the optical and electronic properties of semiconductor materials and enable new approaches to the challenge of achieving efficient but low cost approaches to solar power conversion.

This book focuses on functional organic materials wherein interplay between light and organic molecules has an important role. It covers cutting-edge organic optoelectronic materials that can be applied to photovoltaics, artificial photosynthesis, and light-emitting devices.

This book pays the due tribute to those scientists whose contribution to the field of thermodynamics is undoubtedly seminal but they still remain 'widely unknown'. It is the very first of its kind that will motivate young researchers to build up a logically consistent field of thermodynamics after learning about them.

This book covers novel approaches adapted by leading researchers from different parts of the world to create functional nucleic acid molecular systems and nanoarchitectures. Individual chapters contributed by active practitioners provide fundamental and advanced knowledge emanated from their own work and others'.

This text provides 12 basic steps that singers should take for successful stage performance. The outlined approach is the result of the author's 20 years' experience. The core principle is effective communication with the audience, and the book provides a methodical study and an explanation of how to put this into action.

This highly interdisciplinary book introduces students, researchers, and beginning professors to the broad scope of this area, including the basics of nanotechnology and materials science, glycomics, and bioanalytical chemistry, as well as several historical facts and contexts and future perspectives.

This book addresses topical aspects of the field from leading authorities, introducing the concepts behind IVIM MRI, outlining related methodological issues, and summarizing its current usage and potential for clinical applications. It also presents future research directions, including methodological development and clinical application fields.

This book focuses on the current state of the art of polymer-based capsules. It discusses the fundamental knowledge of the formations and formulations and the properties and performances of typical polymers capsules, together with their applications.

This book provides a detailed narration of the acceptable techniques/methods for treatment of textile wastewater, such as active ozonation, membrane filtration, and adsorption. It discusses emerging and suitable treatment systems that are viable, efficient, and economical.

This multi-authored book presents some recent trends and research achievements in the field of pharmaceutical nanotechnology and advanced drug delivery nanosystems. The applications of drug delivery nanosystems, which are considered carriers of active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Authored by Wolfgang Palz, an independent expert on energy matters and the economy, this book presents his views on a solar revolution to which he contributed. It is not about ecological dreams and wishful thinking for a better world but a report about what happened, in facts and figures.

Nanomaterials in Architecture and Art Conservation gives a comprehensive overview of the state of the art of using nanomaterials in conservation sciences, mainly for stone, mortar, and plaster strengthening, but also for the consolidation of wall paintings.

This book deals with the emerging concept that certain pathogenic bacteria and viruses, when infecting people with cancer, actively fight tumors, allowing their regression. It is composed of 12 chapters written by pioneers in microbial, biotech, and cancer research.

This book reviews the capabilities of integrated nanosystems to match low power and high performance either by hybrid and heterogeneous CMOS in 2D/3D or by emerging devices for alternative sensing, actuating, data storage, and processing.

This book introduces thermoelectric energy conversion nanomaterials, the latest research progress in them, and related manufacturing processes. It also explains how thermoelectric nanomaterials play an indispensable role in heat-to-electricity energy conversion. It is a must-have reference for readers from academia and industry at all levels.

This book provides a broad view on the exploitation of plasmonics in chemical and biological fields. It emphasizes the role of LSP excitation in promoting and probing specific physical, chemical, or biological effects at the nanoscale.

This book is dedicated to modeling and application of magnetoelectric (ME) effect in layered and bulk composites based on magnetostrictive and piezoelectric materials. The book presents the authors' many years of experience, gained while studying ME composites and creating device models based on their studies.

This book clarifies that signal-transducing particles should be regarded as functional elements, as part of a system, not simply as special materials. It introduces concepts of bead-base sensing and ¿mobile spies¿ at the micro- and nanoscale and gives a representative overview of the variety of particle-based sensing.

This book is a rewritten and annotated version of Leo P. Kadanoff and Gordon Baym's lectures that were presented in the book Quantum Statistical Mechanics: Green's Function Methods in Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Problems.

This book is a comprehensive survey of the research on such materials. Unlike a monograph or a review book, it covers a wide variety of compounds, details diverse study methodologies, and spans different scientific fields. It contains cutting-edge research in chemistry and physics from the interdisciplinary team of Ehime University (Japan).

This book presents the current aspects of environmental issues in view of chemical processes particularly with respect to two facets: social sciences along with chemistry and natural sciences. The former facet explores the environmental economics and policies along with chemical engineering or green chemistry.

This book details cutting-edge research on luminescence materials and is illustrated throughout with excellent figures and references. It will appeal to anyone involved in luminescence research and its applications, especially advanced undergraduate-, graduate-, and postgraduate-level students of spectroscopy.

An energy transition that took its first tentative steps in the latter part of the 20th century is now unfolding rapidly. The share of solar electricity in Africa and the Middle East is expected to become the next large markets for solar electric systems. This book provides a comprehensive review of why and how this will happen.
