Nano Comes to Life: How Nanotechnology Is Transforming Medicine and the Future of Biology

This book will be very enjoyable for science fans.

This is an excellently-written and highly interesting book on the field of nano-bio. Most importantly it addresses a crucial and often overlooked component: physics and mechanics of interactions in the body. Recommended read for scientists and non-scientists alike!

I really enjoyed the book and learned a lot!

Un libro actual muy interesante que es recomendable su lectura.

Me encanta leer libros de ciencia en los muchos y buenos de divulgación que hay. Por eso compré este. Pero me ha excedido. Tras medio libro, abandoné. Son demasiados los conceptos y palabras que me superan. El tema de los avances médicos que explica es apasionante. Pero es aterrador el avance de esta fusión de ciencias médicas, biológicas, nanotecnologicas, de inteligencia artificial, físicas, matemáticas, etc., que todas y cada una de ellas están en evolución; por lo que construir ciencia basándose en interconexiones realizadas entre "lo último" de cada ciencia suena a un edificio frágil. Es como construir un edificio con cimientos diversos, ninguno de los cuales está bien asentado.Estoy seguro que los científicos están apasionados con estos desarrollos y que se consideran responsables y capaces de manejar las incertidumbres con éxito, pero sólo el tiempo tendrá la respuesta.Creo que es un libro sólo para lectores versados en las distintas facetas técnicas que toca.

An incredibly insightful read. The book highlights how we are at the juncture of and creating paradigm shifts in nanotechnology. The book is especially a timely reminder of that now and importantly that of nanotechnology on societal impact. Many used to believe that nanotechnology was a  matter reserved for science-fiction but pleased to know of all scientists, the biophysicist/ writer of this book has worked on turning it into a reality. I highly recommend reading.

The emphasis on including physics in biology in the book shows how wonderfully complex life is and made me appreciate the beauty of that interconnection between physics and biology, what can we do with it to improve our health and the world around us.I recommend Nano Comes to Life to everyone who is interested in science and biology.

The topic is of great interest to me and the author is clearly expert and passionate. But the book is such a hard read. Not technically as she keeps it simple but it’s poorly structured and edited. Eventually, it feels like reading a list. I actually gave up 2/3 of the way through, something I hate to do.
