This book is a well-structured textbook that systematically introduces the basic concepts, process technologies, typical devices, and system applications related to micro-nano manufacturing and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). The book is divided into eight chapters, including the concept and development of MEMS, principles and application examples of bulk and surface silicon process, microfabrication technology of non-silicon materials, MEMS microsensors, MEMS microactuators, recen...

Die besten Science-Fiction-Autoren aus China in einem BandEin junger Mann wird dreimal in der Nacht angerufen – und jedes Mal ist er selbst am anderen Ende der Leitung. Genauer gesagt, sein zukünftiges Ich, und dreimal soll er die Welt vor der unausweichlichen Zerstörung retten. »Mondnacht« lautet der Titel dieser Kurzgeschichte von Cixin Liu, die der preisgekrönte Herausgeber und Übersetzer Ken Liu zusammen mit fünfzehn weiteren Erzählungen der besten Science-Fict...

This book tries to root its exploration of China’s urbanization in the very local realities of China from the perspective of urban geography and international urbanization theory. The research is of large scale, full process and boasts the feature of multidimensional and systematic thinking. In order clearly illustrate the full dimensions of China’s urbanization, each chapter presents series of well-designed figures and tables to enhance the book’s readability and clarity. This book can be...

Rapid population growth, urbanisation and industrialisation have caused serious problems in terms of water pollution and the supply of safe water. Solutions for monitoring pollutants in water and for removing them are urgently needed and they must be both efficient and sustainable.Recent advances in emerging environmental nanotechnologies provide promising solutions for these issues. The physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials can be tailored by controlling attributes suc...
