Supersymmetry and Beyond
Basic Books 2013; US$ 16.99The epic story of the quest to uncover a fully unified theory of physics, revised to reflect the possible discovery of the Higgs Boson. more...
Radical Abundance
PublicAffairs 2013; US$ 28.99K. Eric Drexler is the founding father of nanotechnology?the science of engineering on a molecular level. In Radical Abundance , he shows how rapid scientific progress is about to change our world. Thanks to atomically precise manufacturing, we will soon have the power to produce radically more of what people want, and at a lower cost. The result... more...
Clay-Containing Polymer Nanocomposites
Elsevier Science 2013; US$ 199.95Clay-Containing Polymer Nanocomposites covers everything from fundamental understanding to real applications of clay-containing polymer nanocomposites, including environmental considerations. The book's coverage of fundamentals and generalities, in addition to in-depth coverage of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites, make it a valuable companion... more...
Scanning Probe Microscopy for Energy Research
World Scientific Publishing Company 2013; US$ 122.00Efficiency and life time of solar cells, energy and power density of the batteries, and costs of the fuel cells alike cannot be improved unless the complex electronic, optoelectronic, and ionic mechanisms underpinning operation of these materials and devices are understood on the nanometer level of individual defects. Only by probing these phenomena... more...
Half-Metallic Materials and Their Properties
World Scientific Publishing Company 2013; US$ 103.00This volume provides a detailed treatment of half-metallic materials and their properties from both an experimental and theoretical point of view. It discusses the methods used to understand and predict the properties of half-metals and the gamut of other materials amenable to these techniques. It also offers an expansive bibliography to facilitate... more...
What is What in the Nanoworld
Wiley 2013; US$ 185.00The third, partly revised and enlarged edition of this introductory reference summarizes the terms and definitions, most important phenomena, and regulations occurring in the physics, chemistry, technology, and application of nanostructures. A representative collection of fundamental terms and definitions from quantum physics and chemistry, special... more...
Wear of Advanced Materials
Wiley 2013; US$ 96.00Recent advances into the wear of advanced materials In general, wear is currently defined as “the progressive loss of material from the operating surface of a body occurring as a result of relative motion at the surface”. It is related to surface interactions and more specifically to the form of contact due to relative motion. Wear is... more...
Fatigue of Materials and Structures
Wiley 2013; US$ 153.00The design of mechanical structures with improved and predictable durability cannot be achieved without a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of fatigue damage and more specifically the relationships between the microstructure of materials and their fatigue properties. Written by leading experts in the field, this book (which is complementary... more...
Mechanical Characterization of Materials and Wave Dispersion
Wiley 2013; US$ 250.00Over the last 50 years, the methods of investigating dynamic properties have resulted in significant advances. This book explores dynamic testing, the methods used, and the experiments performed, placing a particular emphasis on the context of bounded medium elastodynamics. Dynamic tests have proven to be as efficient as static tests and are often... more...
Mechanical Characterization of Materials and Wave Dispersion
Wiley 2013; US$ 275.00Dynamic tests have proven to be as efficient as static tests and are often easier to use at lower frequency. Over the last 50 years, the methods of investigating dynamic properties have resulted in significant advances.
