There are four joys in writing a book: landing a contract; finishing the text; holding a finished book in the hand; and getting a good reaction, should that transpire. Having reached stage 2 with Nanoscience: Giants of the Infinitesimal , my new book, co-authored with the sculptor Tom Grimsey and published by Papadakis in April 2014, it’s time to wave the flag a little. Tom’s Giants of the Infinitesimal exhibition, exhibited at MOSI Manchester and the Magna Centre, Sheffield, led to this collaboration.
In this fully illustrated book we present a snapshot of this rapidly evolving field: from the omnicompetent potential of graphene, through nano energy solutions and desalination technologies, to astonishing optical effects and superstrong materials. Nanoscience also shows the astonishing beauty of the nanoworld, both natural and synthetic: from the iridescence of butterfly wings and peacock feathers to self-assembled nano “flowers”.
Nanoscience: Giants of the Infinitesimal is available for pre-order from Amazon.
