2. Handbook of Nanoscience, Engineering, and Technology, Third Edition

   Edited by William A. Goddard III, Donald Brenner, Sergey E. Lyshevski, Gerald J Iafrate

   In his 1959 address, "There is Plenty of Room at the Bottom," Richard P. Feynman speculated about manipulating materials atom by atom and challenged the technical community "to find ways of manipulating and controlling things on a small scale." This visionary challenge has now become a reality,...

3. Applied Bohmian Mechanics

   From Nanoscale Systems to Cosmology

   Edited by Xavier Oriols Pladevall, Jordi Mompart

   Most textbooks explain quantum mechanics as a story where each step follows naturally from the one preceding it. However, the development of quantum mechanics was exactly the opposite. It was a zigzagging route full of personal disputes where scientists were forced to abandon well-established...
