I would like suggestions for the best books on current nanotechnology. Does anyone know any good ones? Are there any that can be downloaded in PDF from the internet.
Well, it depends a bit on which field nanotechnology is applied.
I'm currently using 1) Nanomedicine Technologies and applications edited by Thomas J. Webster, and 2) Nanotechnology and Tissue Engineering The Scaffold, by Cato T. Laurencin, Lakshmi S. Nair. I borrowed them from the university library.
It is quite difficult to fine recent books, online and free.
I would also suggest looking at http://books.google.com/
You can search through the books there, and for some of them you have "limited visualization" of the book - so you can actually read what you are interested in.
