Abstract

Exceptional physical and biochemical functions of matter and devices become predominant when size down to nanoscale, although strength of solids may also have strong size effects. The emerging of the molecular physical mechanics as the theoretical fundamental of the new interdisciplinary fields is discussed to meet the requirement of development in science and technology. New examples in nanoscale tribology, thermal dynamic phenomena, nano intelligent systems and structural growth are presented to shown the mainpoints.
