Scientific American Special Issues on Nanoscience and Technology:

IBM "Nanodrive Project" figures are from Scientific American's special issue "The Nanotech Revolution"

Scientific American has also published a special issue on "The Rise of Nanotech"

Both issues are highly recommended - but DO apply the skepticism cultivated in this lecture

 

Links below take you to Scientific American's website for purchase of online versions of these issues

Cached copies are also linked, but are only accessible to UVA class students via UVA computers
