MEMS & NEMS BioMEMS Science and Engineering Perspectives Simona Badilescu and Muthukumaran Packirisamy Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Covering often overlooked areas in the field of bioMEMS, this book supports and expedites the multidisciplinary learning involved in the development of biomicrosystems. It starts with a balanced introduction of biological, engineering, application, and commercialization aspects of the field. The chapters span topics associated with biomolecules and complex biological entities, as well as subjects directly linked to the design, fabrication, and characterization of devices. Unlike other references, this text aids in the fundamental physiochemical understanding of biological processes relevant to the performance of various biosensing devices. • Provides a concise overview of BioMEMS principles • Incorporates modern applications • Discusses engineering perspectives, including methods of manufacturing bioactive surfaces and devices

Nanophotonics Devices, Circuits, and Systems Preecha Yupapin King Mongkut's Institute of Technology, Bangkok, Thailand
This book investigates the behavior of light (light pulse) within the micro and nanoscale device (ring resonator), which can be integrated to form the device, circuits, and systems that can be used for atom/molecule trapping and transportation, optical transistors, fast calculation devices (optical gate), nanoscale communication and networks, and energy storage. These small scale devices, especially ones with light signal processing, are needed. This is a device (nano device) design and simulation that can be useful for practical application in the near future. Catalog no. N10552, January 2013, c. 400 pp. ISBN: 978-981-4364-36-2, $149.95 / £95.00
