Yap Contribution to a Multimedia Nanotechnology Encyclopedia
October 10, 2005
Assistant
Professor Yoke Khin Yap is among the world-wide contributors participated
in the making of a CD-ROM based Encyclopedia series. His contribution is now
published in “Exploring
Nanotechnology”, which is the 3rd tome of the
NANOPOLIS™ encyclopedia series. This encyclopedia was conceived to provide
an
understanding of nanotechnology and its
implications. Containing extremely intuitive
multimedia explanations of the concepts,
technological processes and applications of
nanotechnology, summary charts show the major
players associated with each concept along with
the references necessary for further insight.
Exploring Nanotechnology CD-ROM represents the
fruition of the cooperation between more than 200
scientific groups active in the field, including
snapshots of real-life research from the most
active world-wide laboratories and institutes.
As a reward to Yap's contribution, Michigan Tech is now listed as a partner university together with other leading institutes in the world. Any member of Michigan Tech (students included) will benefit of a 50% discount when buying NANOPOLIS educational products by using a partner code (available from Dr. Yap at ykyap@mtu.edu, 7-2900).
