In the past four decades, there has been a remarkable surge of interest in the captivating realm of physics in low dimensions. The scientific community has been flooded with thousands of innovative ideas, many of which have been experimentally validated and have even earned prestigious Nobel Prizes. While a wealth of literature exists on this topic, the majority of it is highly technical and primarily accessible to expert researchers.

This book aims to bridge that gap by offering a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field of nano-science. While it does not provide a traditional historical account of nano-science, it employs straightforward explanations and engaging case studies to convey key discoveries and their profound implications. By utilizing these pedagogical tools, readers without a background in the field can gain a fundamental understanding of certain aspects of nanoscale physics.

The book is particularly relevant to researchers and scholars engaged in condensed matter physics, as well as engineers and advanced students in related disciplines. It also remains accessible to physics enthusiasts from other academic backgrounds, as technical details are neatly encapsulated within boxes and footnotes, allowing readers to skip them for a general reading of the book.
