The first to address this emerging field, this book provides experts' cutting-edge knowledge of micro/nanotechnology, energy, and bio-systems. The editors offer an integrated view from theory to practice, covering topics ranging from sensors to energy devices and control of biology systems in cellular and molecular levels. The book also features case studies for modeling of micro/nano devices and systems, and explains how the models can be used for control and optimization. Readers benefit from learning new techniques, and applying those techniques to their own research.
