CERN and the Higgs boson hit the headlines and made particle physics exciting for non-scientists - here's the inside story

CERN and the Higgs Boson

The Global Quest for the Building Blocks of Reality

"An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind. Biomimetics literally means emulating biology and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature"--

An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind.

How Lessons from Nature can Transform Technology

Biomimetics

Music is shaped by the science of sound. How can music - an artform - have anything to do with science? Yet there are myriad ways in which the two are intertwined, from the basics of music theory and the design of instruments to hi-fi systems and how the brain processes music. Science writer Andrew May traces the surprising connections between science and music, from the theory of sound waves to the way musicians use mathematical algorithms to create music. The most obvious impact of science on music can be seen in the way electronic technology has revolutionised how we create, record and listen to music. Technology has also provided new insights into the effects that different music has on the brain, to the extent that some algorithms can now predict our reactions with uncanny accuracy, which raises a worrying question: how long will it be before AI can create music on a par with humans?

How Technology has Shaped the Evolution of an Artform

The Science of Music

"Even before Apollo 11 landed on the Moon, private companies were exploiting space via communication satellites - a sector that is seeing exponential growth in the internet age. In human spaceflight, too, commercialisation is making itself felt. Billionaire entrepreneurs Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson have long trumpeted plans to make space travel a possibility for ordinary people and those ideas are inching ever closer to reality. At the same time, other companies plan to mine the Moon for helium-3, or asteroids for precious metals. Science writer Andrew May takes an entertaining, in-depth look at the triumphs and heroic failures of our quixotic quest to commercialise the final frontier"--Publisher's description.

Using numerous worked examples, diagrams and careful physically motivated explanations this book will smooth the path towards understanding the radically different and revolutionary view of the physical world that general relativity provides and which all physicists should have the opportunity to experience.

Series in Astronomy and Astrophysics

This book focuses on observing magnetic fields in order to understand their role in star and planet formation. Polarimetry observers will gain a better understanding of all the various techniques, especially those beyond what they themselves use. Theorists will gain an understanding of exactly what one can infer from the observational data, including both the limitations and the power of the different techniques. Readers not actively involved in star formation research will gain a clear understanding of the possible roles played by magnetic fields and the current state of the observational field. The book provides a foundation for future research in this field.

"This comprehensively updated second edition introduces graduate students and researchers to nonequilibrium many-body quantum systems, time-resolved techniques, and ultrafast phenomena in modern science. Covering a rapidly evolving field, the book includes original material and rigorous derivations, insightful discussions and illustrative examples"--

A Modern Introduction

Nonequilibrium Many-Body Theory of Quantum Systems

This book is about the basics of nanomagnetism, i.e., properties of magnetic systems specific to small sizes and/or low dimensions. Features described range from static properties (the existence and understanding of magnetic domains and domain walls) to magnetization reversal in domains or domain-wall motion (from quasistatic to precessional dynamics of magnetization) and spintronics (basic magnetoresistance effects and reverse spin transfer torques, their origin, and consequence on magnetization).

The Poetry of Physics explores the intersection of science and art, offering a journey through the physical world, combining scientific insights with poetic reflections.

The Poetry of Physics explores the intersection of science and art, blending the intricate beauty of physics with the evocative power of poetry. This unique work takes readers on a journey through the physical world, from the delicate patterns of living organisms to the vast reaches of the cosmos.Structured in four sections – living physics, environmental physics, celestial physics, and a guide on writing your own poems – this book offers both scientific insights and poetic reflections, providing a richer understanding of both fields. The final section provides practical guidance on crafting your own physics-inspired poetry, encouraging active participation in this tradition of blending scientific and artistic inquiry.Ideal for those who appreciate both science and the arts, whether they are physicists, aspiring poets, or curious minds seeking to explore the world and our place within it.
