Nanomedicine, Volume I: Basic Capabilities

Nanomedicine, Volume I: Basic Capabilities, published in 1999 by Landes Bioscience, is the first volume in a series that comprehensively explores the technical issues and foundational competencies required for medical applications of molecular nanotechnology.

It details the physical, chemical, thermodynamic, mechanical, and biological limits of molecular machine systems, covering their abilities to recognize, sort, transport molecules, sense environments, generate energy, communicate, navigate the human body, manipulate microscopic objects, perform computations, and operate under various conditions.

The book serves as an engineering blueprint for future medical nanorobotics and the indefinite extension of human health through molecular-scale interventions.
