Special Issue: "Functional Dendrimers".

This special issue entitled "Functional Dendrimers" focuses on the manipulation of at least six "critical nanoscale design parameters" (CNDPs) of dendrimers including: size, shape, surface chemistry, flexibility/rigidity, architecture and elemental composition. These CNDPs collectively define properties of all "functional dendrimers". This special issue contains many interesting examples descri...

FGCS special issue on smart cards

A smart card is a small computer with a number of interesting properties. A smart card is reliable and inexpensive, and it is packaged in the same way as a credit card. This makes it feasible to distribute smart cards to millions of users. A smart card is a programmable computer, and thus ooers exibility. Finally, a smart card can protect data from unauthorised access. These properties make sma...
