Stimulus-responsive hydrogels have previously been developed that display heat-, light-, pH- or redox-induced sol–gel transitions. Nakahata et al. develop a self-healing supramolecular hydrogel based on host–guest polymers in which redox potential can induce a reversible sol–gel phase transition.

Birth of a new macromolecular architecture: dendrimers as quantized building blocks for nanoscale synthetic polymer chemistry

In his 1959 address, "There is Plenty of Room at the Bottom," Richard P. Feynman speculated about manipulating materials atom by atom and challenged the technical community "to find ways of manipulating and controlling things on a small scale." This visionary challenge has now become a reality, with recent advances enabling atomistic-level tailoring and control of materials.


Exemplifying Feynman’s vision, Handbook of Nanoscience, Engineering, and Technology, Third Edition continues to explore innovative nanoscience, engineering, and technology areas. Along with updating all chapters, this third edition extends the coverage of emerging nano areas even further. Two entirely new sections on energy and biology cover nanomaterials for energy storage devices, photovoltaics, DNA devices and assembly, digital microfluidic lab-on-a-chip, and much more. This edition also includes new chapters on nanomagnet logic, quantum transport at the nanoscale, terahertz emission from Bloch oscillator systems, molecular logic, electronic optics in graphene, and electromagnetic metamaterials. 


With contributions from top scientists and researchers from around the globe, this color handbook presents a unified, up-to-date account of the most promising technologies and developments in the nano field. It sets the stage for the next revolution of nanoscale manufacturing—where scalable technologies are used to manufacture large numbers of devices with complex functionalities.

By using the Hamilton-Jacobi framework and sufficiency theory, this paper presents a solution of the constrained optimization problem for nonlinear systems with soft and hard bounds imposed on control. The developed concept is based on the application of a generalized nonquadratic cost, and nonquadratic return functions are applied. Necessary and sufficient conditions have been used to synthesize the bounded controllers, and sufficient conditions are applied to verify the optimality. The constrained optimization problem is solved for nonlinear systems, and the offered results extend the application of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory by using a generalized nonquadratic cost. The design procedure is reviewed in the context of motion control applications. Analytical, numerical, and experimental results are presented for a servo-system actuated by a permanent-magnet DC motor. The designed nonlinear controller is experimentally verified.
