NanophotonicsDevices, Circuits, and SystemsPreecha Yupapin, K. Srinuanjun, and S. KamoldilokKing Mongkut’s Institute of Technology, Bangkok, Thailand

This book investigates the behavior of light (light pulse) within the micro- and nano-scale device (ring resonator), which can be integrated to form the device, circuits, and systems that can be used for atom/molecule trapping and transportation, optical transistors, fast-calculation devices (optical gate), nanoscale communication and networks, and energy storage. There is a large demand for small-scale devices, especially with light signal processing. This book discusses device (nano device) design and simulation, which can be useful for future practice.

Biophysics for BeginnersA Journey through the Cell NucleusHelmut SchiesselLeiden University, The Netherlands

This textbook gives compact introductions to the basics of the field (areas such as molecular cell biology and statistical physics), and then presents in-depth discussions of more advanced biophysics subjects, progressing to state-of-the-art experiments and their theoretical interpretations. The book is unique by offering a general introduction to biophysics, yet at the same time restricting itself to processes that occur inside the cell nucleus and that involve biopolymers (DNA, RNA, and proteins). This allows for an accessible read for beginners and a springboard for specialists who wish to continue their study in more detail.

Colloids and Interfaces in Life Sciences and BionanotechnologySecond EditionWillem NordeWageningen University and University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlands

This classroom-tested reference presents a concise introductory treatment of the physicochemical principles that determine interrelated colloidal and interfacial phenomena and their relevance to various life sciences. The book focuses on concepts that form the basis for understanding this behavior. It deciphers the spontaneous assembly of amphiphilic molecules and discusses the intentional fouling of surfaces for the immobilization of cells in bioreactors. It also devotes special attention to reversible and soft colloids and examines the colloidal domain in a historical perspective, the size and distribution of particles, electrokinetic phenomena, and more.
