Informationen zum Autor Nadrian C. Seeman is the founder of the field of structural DNA nanotechnology. He is currently the Margaret and Herman Sokol Professor of Chemistry at New York University and is the recipient of a number of awards including the Sidhu Award, the Feynman Prize, the Emerging Technologies Award, the Rozenberg Tulip Award in DNA Computing, the World Technology Network Award in Biotechnology, the NYACS Nichols Medal, the SCC Frontiers of Science Award, the ISNSCE Nanoscience Prize, the Kavli Prize in Nanoscience, the Einstein Professorship of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a Distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Pittsburgh and a Jagadish Chandra Bose Triennial Gold Medal from the Bose Institute, Kolkata. He is also a Thomson-Reuters Laureate and a Fellow of the American Crystallographic Association. Klappentext Written by the founder of the field, this is the first text of its kind, providing a definitive introduction to structural DNA nanotechnology. Readers will learn everything there is to know about the subject from the unique perspective of the leading expert in the field. Topics covered range from origins and history, to design, experimental techniques, DNA nanomechanics devices, computing, and the uses of DNA nanotechnology in organising other materials. Clearly written, and benefiting from over 200 full colour illustrations, readers will find this an accessible and easy to follow text that is essential reading for anyone who wants to enter this rapidly growing field. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in a range of disciplines including nanotechnology, materials science, physics, biology, chemistry, computational science and engineering.The definitive introduction to structural DNA nanotechnology, written by the founder of the field.
