Hot Science

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

Gillies James: CERN and the Higgs Boson
/ B

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"--

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.

A journey through the history and science of epidemics and pandemics, from AIDS to Zika. Part of Icon's "Hot Science" series.

Battling infection from measles to coronavirus

Outbreaks and Epidemics

With dark matter and dark energy making up ninety-five percent of reality, this addition to the "Hot Science" series looks at the new research into the functionality of invisible material in relation to stars and planets. Brian Clegg also wrote "Dice World" and "A Brief History Of Infinity".

Is Earth really doomed to be destroyed by a cosmic catastrophe? Cosmic Impact, in Icon's burgeoning Hot Science series, has the answers.

Understanding the Threat to Earth from Asteroids and Comets

Cosmic Impact

This book investigates in detail the emerging deep learning (DL) technique in computational physics, assessing its promising potential to substitute conventional numerical solvers for calculating the fields in real-time. After good training, the proposed architecture can resolve both the forward computing and the inverse retrieve problems.

Deep Learning-Based Forward Modeling and Inversion Techniques for Computational Physics Problems

Primer on Radiation Oncology Physics: Video Tutorials with Textbook and Problems, now in its Second Edition, provides over 60 tutorial videos (each 15-20 minutes in length) with a companion text and is the most complete and effective introduction to medical physics available.

Video Tutorials with Textbook and Problems

Primer on Radiation Oncology Physics

This practical introduction to the field focuses on the design, architecture, and operation of technologies based on organic compounds and conjugating molecules. It shows the reader how material structure relates to semiconducting properties, and then explores in detail the electronic devices that harness their unique properties. The author also extends the discussion to printed electronics, covering large-area, low-cost film deposition, patterning, processing, and encapsulation. The reader will gain a deep understanding of how the devices work and how the applications are designed and operate.

Science, Technology, Devices and Applications

Organic and Hybrid Electronics

Myers' much beloved introduction to solid state physics has been thoroughly updated while retaining its benchmark accessibility to anyone with minimal background. The conceptual framework is presented with real world applications, and modern experimental approaches are given sufficient attention. Extensive updates to sections on semiconductors, dielectric media, superconductivity, and surface techniques are included, in addition to a new chapter on disordered and amorphous materials, and computational exercises.

Introductory Solid State Physics, Third Edition

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).

A Concise Introduction to Nanomagnetism

Dynamics Of Intense Particle Beams In Linear Accelerators

The book provides a broad overview of the current state of Smith-Purcell radiation, and an assessment of its potential applications, for example, for non-destructive beam diagnostics in particle accelerators, or as a viable source of Tera Hertz radiation.

Basic Theory and Applications

Smith-Purcell Radiation

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.

Observations and Implications

Magnetic Fields in Regions of Star Formation

This book provides a detailed treatment of the fundamental principles underlying the interaction of laser radiation with gas-phase atomic and molecular resonances, with emphasis on a practical approach. The focus is on presentation of the essential material needed to understand laser interactions with molecular and atomic resonances using a consistent and fundamental framework with detailed illustrative examples and numerous tables. In addition, there is a thorough overview of the full breadth of engineering applications for diagnostic probes.

Applied Laser Spectroscopy

In Mathematical Methods for Physics using Microsoft EXCEL, readers will investigate topics from classical to quantum mechanics, which are often omitted from the course work. Some of these topics include rocket propulsion, Rutherford scattering, and boundary value problems and associated special functions as orthonormal bases

Mathematical Methods for Physics using Microsoft EXCEL

Series in Computational Physics

This book provides an in-depth introduction to molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, the basis for computational study of complex atomic and molecular systems. The author clarifies the role of different variables and sequences throughout, avoids excessive mathematical detail, emphasizes graphical representations, and highlights illustrative applications in materials science, biology, and biochemistry. The text also presents tips for speeding up calculations and parallelization techniques based on OpenMP. The final section offers hands-on training to open-source MD codes (NAMD) and associated post-processing.
