PREFACE
Nanostructures are playing a fundamental role in the advancement of biology as a result of the continuing dramatic progress in understanding the electronic, optical, and mechanical properties of an ever increasing variety of nanostructures. This book on “Biological Nanostructures and Applications of Nanostructures in Biology: Electrical, Mechanical, and Optical Properties” highlights recent past advances at the interface between the science and technology of nanostructures and the science of biology. Moreover, this book supplements these past groundbreaking discoveries with discussions of promising new avenues of
