In this biography of Enrico Fermi (1901-54), who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1938 for his work on radioactivity by neutron bombardment and his discovery of transuranic elements and who achieved the first controlled nuclear chain reaction in Chicago in 1942, his student, collaborator, fellow...

L’uso parsimonioso degli aggettivi «strano», «bizzarro» e «misterioso» è indubbiamente una buona regola. Quindi, per mettere bene in chiaro che l’argomento del suo nuovo libro è davvero molto strano, bizzarro e misterioso, Jim Al-Khalili lo dice subito, e si capisce perché lo fa. Il tema...

In De melodie van de natuur neemt Ivo van Vulpen ons mee in de zoektocht naar de kleinste bouwstenen van de natuur. Het is een ongekend spannend avontuur, waarin het de wetenschap lukt om steeds dieper door te dringen in een mysterieuze wereld die we met het blote oog allang niet meer kunnen zien....

Der legendäre Physik-Nobelpreisträger Richard P. Feynman tritt in diesem Buch als vielseitige und komplexe Persönlichkeit auf: als leidenschaftlicher Wissenschaftler, aufrichtiger Denker, genialer Lehrer, als liebenswürdiger Mensch und nicht zuletzt als Spaßmacher. Es ist ein Genuss, Feynman...

Have you ever wondered what the heck elementary particle physics is? Here, I'll give you a basic overview of what it is and what mysteries remain.

As anyone from cold climates knows, living with lots of ice and snow can lead to a special appreciation of sports such as skiing, sledding, and skating. Prolific physics popularizer Mark Denny’s take on winter athletics lays out the physical principles that govern glaciated game play. After...

This thesis reports on the final measurement of the flavor-mixing phase in decays of strange-bottom mesons (B_s) into J/psi and phi mesons performed in high-energy proton-antiproton collisions recorded by the Collider Experiment at Fermilab. Interference occurs between direct decays and decays following...

Are Angels real? What is the difference between a soul and a spirit? What "is" prayer? Is is scientifically sound to claim the existence of God? If God is good, then why does He allow bad things to happen, especially if God knows the future? Look at answers to these questions through...

Semiconductors and the Information Revolution sets out to explain the development of modern electronic systems and devices from the viewpoint of the semiconductor materials (germanium, silicon, gallium arsenide and many others) which made them possible. It covers the scientific understanding of these...

Die Quantenphysik steckt voller überraschender, seltsamer, ja befremdlicher Phänomene, die sich dem gesunden Menschenverstand zu entziehen scheinen. Teilchen, die sich an mehreren Orten zugleich befinden, ein Vakuum, das nicht leer ist, Computer, die rechnen, ohne die Aufgabe zu kennen,...

Waves are everywhere in our daily life. We all experience sound and light with our ears and eyes, we use microwaves to cook, and radio waves are transmitted from and are received by our cell phones. These are just some examples of waves that carry energy from point A to B. However, we may not know...

“Blaedel has addressed himself to the task of writing a full-length biography that covers all facets of his subject and that emphasizes that they form part of one harmonious unity. I think that on the whole he has succeeded remarkably well. He gives an accurate picture of the man theorists of my...
