Book Reviews Editorials Point of View
- Fluorescent Nanodiamonds by Chang, Huan-Cheng, Hsiao, Wesley Wei-Wen, Su, Meng-Chih, Springer 2018
This book thoroughly summarizes all aspects of fluorescent nanodiamonds, including fundamental properties, synthesis, mechanisms, functionalization and applications. A special focus is placed on the current and potential applications of fluorescent nanodiamonds on bioimaging, quantum sensing, proteomics and drug delivery. Issues associated with the applications are also addressed. The audience of this book includes academic researchers, industry professionals, as well as instructors and students working in the fields of nanotechnology, biomedical engineering and others.
- Nano-Optics: Principles Enabling Basic Research and Applications by Di Bartolo, Baldassare, Collins, John, Silvestri, Luciano (Eds.), Springer, 2017.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of nano-optics, including basic theory, experiment and applications, particularly in nanofabrication and optical characterization. The contributions clearly demonstrate how advances in nano-optics and photonics have stimulated progress in nanoscience and -fabrication, and vice versa. Their expert authors address topics such as three-dimensional optical lithography and microscopy beyond the Abbe diffraction limit, optical diagnostics and sensing, optical data- and telecommunications, energy-efficient lighting, and efficient solar energy conversion. Nano-optics emerges as a key enabling technology of the 21st century. This work will appeal to a wide readership, from physics through chemistry, to biology and engineering. The contributions that appear in this volume were presented at a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Erice, 4-19 July, 2015.
