One of the field's most respected introductory texts, Modern Physics provides a deep exploration of fundamental theory and experimentation. Appropriate for second-year undergraduate science and engineering students, this esteemed text presents a comprehensive introduction to the concepts and methods that form the basis of modern physics, including examinations of relativity, quantum physics, statistical physics, nuclear physics, high energy physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. A balanced ped...

Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Latin for Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), often referred to as simply the Principia, is a work in three books by Isaac Newton, in Latin, first published 5 July 1687. After annotating and correcting his personal copy of the first edition, Newton published two further editions, in 1713 and 1726. The Principia states Newton's laws of motion, forming the foundation of classical mechanics; Newton's law of universal gravitation; and a de...

When we look at todays Physics, we can only be impressed by an enormous amount of knowledge. But our modern knowledge of Physics has been based on a set of fundamental equations. A small change in one of these fundamental equations will change everything in physics.

When you read this book, it is very likely that the world of Physics is still very calm. Like in the early morning, just when the sun rises. You feel peace and the birds start to wake up and you hear the first sounds breaking the silence of the night. The sounds of joy, the sounds of happiness, the sounds of peace. But it is the morning of the great battle. The battle in physics. Still everybody is asleep. There is no sign of aggression. But soon the armies will rise and the battle will be da...

Tomorrow's nanoscientist will have a truly interdisciplinary and nano-centric education, rather than, for example, a degree in chemistry with a specialization in nanoscience. For this to happen, the field needs a truly focused and dedicated textbook. This full-color masterwork is such a textbook.

It introduces the nanoscale along with the societal impacts of nanoscience, then presents an overview of characterization and fabrication methods. The authors systematically discuss the chemistry, ph...

Nikola Tesla has been one of the greatest scientists who has ever lived. His inventions still are amazing the world by his creativity and his unique way of thinking. One of his most powerful and unique ideas has been the concept of the possibility to transport massive amounts of energy through the air without any wires and finally (almost) realized before his death by his famous “Wardenclyffe Tower”.

Till now the “Wardenclyffe Tower” has not been very successful. Because at his time N...

Einstein understood “Quantum Mechanics” and “Quantum Field Theory” better than many modern physicist does, because he understood the Deeper Layers in Physics. The fundamental layer in physics, that probability is not the “Foundation of our Universe”. Albert Einstein was much more like Isaac Newton who saw and understood, 300 years ago, through his tiny little telescope the fundamental foundation of the universe better than most modern physicists do. When modern scientists observe ...

To understand the physics of Black Holes, it is important to understand the first law in Physics which controls our entire universe. This is the law of “Perfect Equilibrium”. Within the entire universe there is always a prefect equilibrium between all the physical forces like gravity, forces of inertia, radiation pressure and Electro-Magnetic Interaction forces at any time, in any direction and at any space coordinate. This is the fundamental law in physics on which also the existence of ...
