A new book in the NATO Science for Peace and Security Series C: Environmental Security covers the findings from this workshop: Nanotechnology in the Security Systems.

There have been many significant advances in the past two years and some entirely new directions of research are just opening up. Recent advances in nanoscience have demonstrated that fundamentally new physical phenomena are found when systems are reduced in size with dimensions, comparable to the fundamental microscopic length scales of the investigated material.

Recent developments in nanotechnology and measurement techniques now allow experimental investigation of transport properties of nanodevices.

This work will be of interest to researchers working in spintronics, molecular electronics and quantum information processing.
