Nanotechnology Applications to Telecommunications and Networking

by Daniel Minoli

Be a part of the nanotechnology revolution in telecommunications This book provides a unique and thought-provoking perspective on how nanotechnology is poised to revolutionize the telecommunications, computing, and networking industries. The author discusses emerging technologies as well as technologies under development that will lay the foundation for such innovations as: Nanomaterials with novel optical, electrical, and magnetic properties Faster and smaller non-silicon-based chipsets, memory, and processors New-science computers based on Quantum Computing Advanced microscopy and manufacturing systems Faster and smaller telecom switches, including optical switches Higher-speed transmission phenomena based on plasmonics and other quantum-level phenomena Nanoscale MEMS: micro-electro-mechanical systems The author of this cutting-edge publication has played a role in the development of actual nanotechnology-based communication systems. In this book, he examines a broad range of the sci
