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...

Dit boek is een kritiek op de wijze waarop in de natuurkunde wordt omgegaan

met sommige begrippen. Het is ook toegankelijk voor de geïnteresseerde

niet-natuurkundige maar voor hoofdstuk VII is wel enige wiskundekennis

nodig en enige kennis van de speciale relativiteitstheorie gewenst.

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 ...

Compiling his know-how in concept formation from Integrated Product

Design [IPD] into Integrated Quantum Design [IQD], product designer

Koenraad Van Spaendonck [Alumnus University of Antwerp UA 1995]

constructs a discrete geometry as the basis for emergent gravity :

Discrete Contracting Coordinates [ DCC ].

This new mathematical model resides in a Euclidean environment, from

which the emergent non-Euclidean mathematical model of spacetime can

be derived. A specific translation from spec...

Het heelal spreekt tot de verbeelding en zwarte gaten zijn een blijvende Marcel Vonk bron van fascinatie. In dit rijk geïllustreerde boek ontrafelt theoretisch fysicus en wetenschapspopularisator Marcel Vonk dit natuurkundige fenomeen en beschrijft hij hoe zwarte gaten niet alleen tot intrigerende wetenschappelijke raadsels leiden, maar ook juist de mysteries van het heelal helpen oplossen. Hij gaat daarbij complexe concepten niet uit de weg, maar legt deze op eenvoudige wijze uit.In de vori...

David Hume said that although a mountain exists and gold exists, a golden mountain is not real. In the same manner, we cannot simply combine abstractions of reality and assume they refer in any meaningful way to reality.

If you are a physicist, prepare to have many of your beliefs shaken to the ground. This book shows that many of the abstract notions in contemporary physics, like probability distribution and entanglement are merely golden mountains.

But this book does not only perform a har...
