Chromosomal DNA is normally coiled and compacted via interactions with histone proteins to form material called chromatin. Chemical modification of the histones can profoundly alter how the chromatin is arranged, and this represents an important mechanism by which cells regulate gene expression.Fluorescent Sensor Helping Scientists Track Specific Chromosomal Modifications

Nano-Society - Pushing the Boundaries of TechnologyNano-Society - Pushing the Boundaries of Technology
Nano-Society - Pushing the Boundaries of Technology puts a spotlight on some of the scientists who are pushing the boundaries of technology and it gives examples of their work and how they are advancing knowledge one little step at a time. Nano-Society - Pushing the Boundaries of Technology shatters the monolithic term "nanotechnology" into the myriad of facets that it really is. It is a journey through the world of nanotechnology research and development, taking a personal look at how nanotechnologies get created today and by whom. Nano-Society - Pushing the Boundaries of Technology covers 122 very specific research projects that are happening in laboratories around the world and provides commentaries from the scientists in their own words.
Nanostructured Materials Volume 1Nanostructured Materials Volume 1
This book focuses on functional aspects of nanostructured materials that have a high relevance to immediate applications, such as catalysis, energy harvesting, energy storage, optical properties and surface functionalization via self-assembly. Additionally, there are chapters devoted to massive nanostructured materials and composites and covering basic properties and requirements of this new class of engineering materials. Especially the issues concerning stability, reliability and mechanical performance are mandatory aspects that need to be regarded carefully for any nanostructured engineering material.
Applied NanotechnologyApplied Nanotechnology
This book joins, for the first time, technical nanotechnology information with the non-technical to explain the fundamentals -- with an emphasis on a succinct set of principles. It takes a "first principles" look at the economics of converting research results to products, highly important due to the potentially disruptive nature of nanotechnology. How nanotechnology builds on earlier technologies is shown while introducing its own unique paradoxes. The book surveys what has actually been realized, comparing laboratory achievements with commercially successful products, and offers a profound, clear analysis of industrial impacts and current applications.
Emerging Nanotechnologies for ManufacturingEmerging Nanotechnologies for Manufacturing
This book presents the most recent developments in the field of nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing -- critical knowledge for anyone who needs to keep up with the field (researchers, students, engineers, venture capitalists, etc.).
