Info autore
Harald Fuchs, Jahrgang 1954 und Vater von drei Kindern, lebt in Pforzheim. Er arbeitete viele Jahre selbstständig in der Werbebranche, bis er sich 2004 umorientierte und unter anderem eine Ausbildung als Elektrobiologe absolvierte. 2008 begann er, sein Wissen auf eigenen Vorträgen und Seminaren an die Menschen weiterzugeben. Technologische sowie gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen und Veränderungen stehen dabei stets im Mittelpunkt seiner Betrachtungen.
Dr. Bharat Bhushan received an M.S. in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1971, an M.S. in mechanics and a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1973 and 1976, respectively, an MBA from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, NY in 1980, Doctor Technicae from the University of Trondheim at Trondheim, Norway in 1990, a Doctor of Technical Sciences from the Warsaw University of Technology at Warsaw, Poland in 1996, and Doctor Honoris Causa from the Metal-Polymer Research Institute of National Academy of Sciences at Gomel, Belarus in 2000. He is a registered professional engineer (mechanical) and presently an Ohio Eminent Scholar and The Howard D. Winbigler Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Graduate Research Faculty Advisor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and the Director of the Nanotribology Laboratory for Information Storage & MEMS/NEMS (NLIM) at the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. He is an internationally recognized expert of tribology on the macro- to nanoscales, and is one of the most prolific authors in the field. He is considered by some a pioneer of the tribology and mechanics of magnetic storage devices and a leading researcher in the fields of nanotribology and nanomechanics using scanning probe microscopy and applications to micro/nanotechnology.

Testo aggiuntivo
From the reviews:
“This book is a compilation of 27 contributions representative of the scanning-probe microscopy techniques … . The volume is organized in four topical parts. … can be very useful in a laboratory to introduce students to their first steps in AFM, and to provide more experienced researchers with the state-of- the-art of AFM-based methodology presented by outstanding scientists.” (Bruno Samorì and Francesco Valle, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 399, 2011)
