Nanotechnology is cool because it encompasses breathtaking feats of innovative technology, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids. In their most recent collaboration, Felice Frankel and George Whitesides explore this tiny world in No Small Matter, meandering from molecules to quantum dots to microscopic symbiotic relationships between species.  The book combines colourful imagery from multiple disciplines with thoughtful essays to capture the bizarre world below the level of the visible, and to introduce readers to the strange principles driving science on the nanoscale.
