These are a list of websites and books that are excellent references for those who want to be serious technical students of Nanotechnology and Nanoengineering. These are not for lighthearted, but as undergrad I remember desperately looking for serious sources of information on Nanotech, without a lot of BS. They didn't exist then, but they do now. Here are my recommendations:


Books
Nanomedicine by Robert Freitas (vol 2 out this month)
http://www.foresight.org/Nanomedicine/
and

I received a post at Gina's site today that when I checked it out was an excellent new and powerful dedicated search engine for nanotech research. It simultaneously access databases, journals, other search engines, and patents.

It is a worthwhile addition to all lists of favorites and I hope it can help many people in their personal investigations. Check it out and "va pour çà!"

Thanks for the link transtigger,

We also have a Regional Forum where you may wish to post to the UK Forum.

Are there any videos about this too?

[KalaBeth]

Are these still the best "textbooks" for a good technical grounding in subject? Or have they been surpassed in the (yikes) seven years since this list was posted?

Great work. I was looking forward to something like this for a long time. Definitely going to spend a couple of hours reading up on these
