Self-Assembly, Pattern Formation and Growth Phenomena in Nano-Systems Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute, held in St. Etienne de Tinee, France, August 28 - September 11, 2004 /
Nano-science and nano-technology are rapidly developing scientific and technological areas that deal with physical, chemical and biological processes that occur on nano-meter scale - one millionth of a millimeter. Self-organization and pattern formation play crucial role on nano-scales and promise n...
