Borisenko V.E., Ossicini S. What is What in the Nanoworld. A Handbook on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Wcinheim: Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2004. — 347 p. — ISBN 9783527404933The book will help undergraduate and Ph. D students, teachers, researchers and scientific
managers to understand properly the language used in modern nanoscience and nanotechnol-
ogy. It will also appeal to readers from outside the nanoworld community, in particular to
scientific journalistsSources of Information.
