Features: Any innovative scientific knowledge will inevitably lead to the development of high technology and drive the progress of human society. High technology is characterized by breakthroughs, innovation, strategy, driving force, and risk, becoming the mainstream of modern technological development. As an innovative knowledge, chaos and its control have ascended to the international scientific hall of fame and are currently opening up new frontiers in the field of high technology, providing new growth points, and attracting significant attention both domestically and internationally. In the field of nuclear energy, by controlling the chaos of intense beam halo, clean nuclear energy, nuclear material production and breeding, radioactive waste transmutation, radioactive drug production, and heavy ion fusion can be effectively achieved. Chaotic secure communication and chaotic information technology will enhance the initiative in future information warfare. Chaos has also provided new ideas and approaches for biomedical engineering. Harnessing chaos can also save space fuel, increase the power of particle beam weapons and lasers, and add value to some high-tech products. Utilizing chaos for the benefit of humanity will surely bear fruit in the 21st century and become a reality. The world is currently undergoing a scientific and technological revolution, and humanity has entered the knowledge economy and information age. The chaos theory discussed in this book can be considered the third revolution of 20th-century physics. It not only provides a new methodology that harmoniously unifies the two methodologies for describing nature, leading to a new leap in human understanding, but also extends from natural science to technical science, social science, and humanities, with promising development and application prospects. The theme of the entire book is how to harness chaos and develop high technology, focusing on an overview of the main principles and methods of chaos control, anti-control, and chaos synchronization that achieved breakthroughs in the 1990s, and elaborating on their connection with the development of high technology, especially the new growth points in emerging high-tech fields that have attracted attention, such as chaos control in clean nuclear energy systems, chaotic information technology and secure communication, chaotic medicine, laser chaos control, and chaos guidance. These have broad application potential in national economic fields such as defense, industry, and agriculture. The author of this book has been engaged in the research of chaos science and chaos control for many years. It is written based on the author's long-term accumulated research achievements and insights from teaching graduate students. The content is both profound and accessible, with language that is easy to understand, blending academic rigor, knowledge, and. This will help readers broaden their horizons and understand this emerging interdisciplinary field; it will also facilitate communication with personnel from different fields and the general public. Therefore, the book is suitable for readers of various levels, including college students, graduate students, entrepreneurs, and management personnel, as well as reference for natural scientists, social scientists, and engineering technicians. Most of the content in the book is also suitable for readers with a high school education level.
