Summary:

This book, whose origin was an international conference held in Hawaii, discusses nano- and microfabrication, and how biologists are using such fabricated devices in their research. The goal of the book is to inform materials scientists and engineers about the needs of biologists, and, equally, to inform biologists about how nano- and microscale fabrication may help to shed light on their own particular research problems. The book also aims to stimulate innovative, productive interactions among materials scientists, engineers, and biologists, and to explore ways in which materials scientists and engineers can exploit biological principles and biological assemblies to produce new and ever smaller devices. In addition to serving as a resource for scientists in the field, the book is intended for any biologist or physical scientist who wishes to understand the current state of the art and what research is currently being done using biological microfabrication.
