Research in nanoscience has grown exponentially in recent years. There are currently more than 1 million scientists working on nanoscale research projects. Breakthroughs in nanotechnology require a firm grounding in the principles of physics. Providing the framework to achieve these advances, Handbook of Nanophysics is the first comprehensive reference to cover both fundamental and applied aspects of physics at the nanoscale. After 3 ½ years in the making, the Handbook of Nanophysics has just been published. A unique feature of this seven-volume set is its tutorial style, through which state-of-the-art scientific content is enriched with fundamental equations and illustrations to facilitate wider access to the material. The handbook covers a broad range of topics: Principles and Methods (Vol. 1), Clusters and Fullerenes (Vol. 2), Nanoparticles and Quantum Dots (Vol. 3), Nanotubes and Nanowires (Vol. 4), Functional Nanomaterials (Vol. 5), Nanoelectronics and Nanophotonics (Vol. 6) and Nanomedicine and Nanorobotics (Vol. 7). 683 authors from 47 countries were involved in writing the articles. The handbook has 304 chapters and 5,670 pages.
