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.

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...

This book introduces the reader to the fascinating and sometimes bizarre world of space rocks using a simple, clear layman-friendly style. It explains why they are so special and describes their main characteristics.

This second edition, enhanced with more than 30 new figures, provides an up-to-date overview of physical geography. It enables the reader to understand the interconnected nature of the Earth’s system and includes new developments and case studies with insights from satellite observations and data analysis using artificial intelligence.

This book introduces you to the physics of cosmic rays, charged particles which reach us from known – and maybe unknown – sources in the cosmos.

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.
