The FACTS Visually Explained. Includes over 70 complex concepts explained with bright graphics and diagrams - science made simple.

The book provides an accessible introduction to the principles of condensed matter physics with a focus on the nanosciences and device technologies.

This primer introduces simple, straightforward quantum science principles to motivated science students from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds, using a minimum of mathematical formalism and offering readers the means to achieve significant conceptual clarity and depth of what can often seem like complex material.

Taking a straightforward, logical approach that emphasizes symmetry and crystal relationships, this successful textbook provides a thorough explanation of the topic for students studying the solid state in chemistry, physics, materials science, geological sciences, and engineering.

The fifth edition of this well-established, highly regarded two-volume set continues to provide a fundamental introduction to advanced particle physics while incorporating substantial new experimental results, especially in the areas of Higgs and top sector physics, as well as CP violation and neutrino oscillations.

The book presents a practical guide to using a small astronomical telescope of a size that corresponds to most “first” telescopes – around 75 to 150 mm, i.e. 3 to 6 inches, in diameter.

This book explores quantum computing as a transformative technology and its applications in cryptography, teleportation, IoT, AI, and Blockchain, and the futurist concept of quantum internet.

Moleculen vind je letterlijk overal. Ze vormen alles om ons heen en zelf bestaan we ook uit deze superkleine bouwstenen. In dit boek bespreken Nobelprijswinnaar Ben Feringa en collegachemicus Anouk Lubbe de belangrijkste moleculen uit onze directe omgeving. Zo lezen we over moleculen in onze kleding, over stoffen in frisdranken, over aminozuren in ons lichaam, over de wonderbaarlijke kwaliteiten van grafeen, over moleculen waar we dronken, vrolijk of juist ziek van worden, over het synthetisc...

A fun, well-structured collection of facts and trivia about the climate.

Op dit moment maken we een revolutie in de biologie mee: onze kennis over waarom we ouder worden en sterven, en waarom sommige soorten langer leven dan andere, maakt enorme sprongen. Onsterfelijkheid, sinds mensenheugenis een vage hoop, is nog nooit zo dichtbij geweest.

Nobelprijswinnaar en moleculair bioloog Venki Ramakrishnan schreef een gezaghebbende beschouwing over de vraag waarom we sterven, en over de mogelijkheden om aan de dood te ontsnappen. Hij behandelt de recente doorbraken in we...
