About the Book

No Small Matter uses dazzling images and evocative descriptions to reveal the virtually invisible realities and possibilities of nanoscience. It considers both the benefits and the risks of nano/microtechnology—from the potential of quantum computers and single-molecule genomic sequencers to the concerns about self-replicating nanosystems.
