商品描述
This book charts the exciting transition from nanotechnology to picotechnology, moving from manipulating matter at the nanoscale to engineering structures at atomic and molecular levels. Beginning with the fundamentals of nanotechnology, it describes how materials and devices designed at the nanoscale (1 to 100 nanometers) have already revolutionized fields like electronics and medicine. It then discusses advancements in sub-nanometer precision, enabled by techniques such as scanning probe microscopy (SPM), which allow scientists to manipulate individual atoms and molecules with exceptional accuracy. This book further examines atomic-scale engineering, where tools like scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) facilitate the precise arrangement of atoms to create specific structures. It also covers molecular nanotechnology, which extends these principles to the design and assembly of complex molecular structures and machines, drawing inspiration from biological systems.
In exploring applications, this book highlights how atomic and molecular scale engineering could revolutionize electronics with single-atom transistors and molecular-scale circuits, and transform medicine with advanced drug delivery systems and nanoscale sensors. In addition, applications in environmental remediation, energy storage, computing, and communication systems are presented. Despite the significant challenges, such as achieving precise control and ensuring scalability, the potential for breakthroughs is immense. The journey from nanotechnology to atomic and molecular scale engineering is a crucial step towards the vision of picotechnology, promising groundbreaking advancements with profound impacts on science, technology, and society.

這本書描繪了從奈米技術到皮米技術的激動人心的過渡，從操控奈米尺度的物質到在原子和分子層面上進行結構工程。書中首先介紹奈米技術的基本原理，描述了在奈米尺度（1到100奈米）設計的材料和設備如何已經徹底改變了電子學和醫學等領域。接著，書中討論了在亞奈米精度方面的進展，這得益於如掃描探針顯微鏡（SPM）等技術，使科學家能夠以卓越的精確度操控單個原子和分子。這本書進一步探討了原子級工程，使用掃描隧道顯微鏡（STM）和原子力顯微鏡（AFM）等工具，促進原子的精確排列以創建特定結構。它還涵蓋了分子奈米技術，將這些原則擴展到複雜分子結構和機器的設計與組裝，並從生物系統中汲取靈感。
在探索應用方面，這本書強調了原子和分子尺度工程如何能夠以單原子晶體管和分子尺度電路徹底改變電子學，並以先進的藥物傳遞系統和奈米尺度傳感器轉變醫學。此外，還介紹了在環境修復、能源儲存、計算和通信系統中的應用。儘管面臨著如實現精確控制和確保可擴展性等重大挑戰，但突破的潛力是巨大的。從奈米技術到原子和分子尺度工程的旅程是邁向皮米技術願景的重要一步，預示著將在科學、技術和社會上帶來深遠影響的突破性進展。
