Bhushan has amassed an authoritative handbook of the status of nanotechnology in 2004. The book makes clear that the field is delivering serious scientific and engineering results. The authors are the recognised experts in their fields. Which are as diverse as MEMS, tribology and Atomic Force Microscopy.



Although, much work is still pure research. While some novel devices are described, the optimistic projections of mass scale industrial applications may still have to wait for a few more years.



Very useful to researchers across many disciplines.
