By Robert A. Freitas Nanosensors and nanorobots are not science fiction but part of nanomedicine, the newest direction in medicine. After touring medical history and defining molecular nanotechnology as the atomic-level control of molecular structures to create precisely targeted medical procedures, Freitas (Institute for Molecular Manufacturing, Palo Alto, CA) details such topics as molecular transport and device applications but leaves ethical debates to others. Appends data on nanodevice design, and human blood and cell types; and a 36-page glossary. Part of a three-volume work, due to be available online. Annotation c.
