Following on from the first AMN volume, this handy reference and textbook examines the topic of nanosystem design in further detail. It explains the physical and chemical basics behind the design and fabrication of nanodevices, covering all important, recent advances in the field, while introducing nanosystems to less experienced readers. The result is an important source for a fast, accurate overview of the state of the art of nanosystem realization, summarizing further important literature.

Edited by the world leader in insect cyborg concepts, this reference provides a unified vision of miniature electronically controlled biological systems.
The knowledge so gained will help researchers in microsystems technology to develop and improve engineering approaches for low-energy propulsion, locomotion and agility, for example, based on concepts found in nature.
Since this is an interdisciplinary topic, the book is highly relevant for applications in materials science, electrical and mechanical engineering, medicine, and biology, while some of the various techniques developed in the context of cyborgs can be applied to drug delivery, miniature microsystem development and energy harvesting devices.
