Soft Machines: nanotechnology and life

by Richard A.L. Jones

Soft Machines is a book about nanotechnology, published in the UK and the USA by Oxford University Press.

The book, intended for the general reader, explains why things behave differently at the nanoscale to the way they behave at familiar human scales, and why this means that nanotechnology may be more like biology than conventional engineering.
