This book takes the reader for a short journey over the structures of matter showing that their main properties can be obtained even at a quantitative level with a minimum background knowledge including, besides first year calculus and physics, the extensive use of dimensional a…
This book provides a chronological introduction to modern atomic theory, which represented an attempt to reconcile the ancient doctrine of atomism with careful experiments -- performed during the 19th century -- on the flow of heat through substances and across empty space. Incl…
Applying an intuitive question-based approach that connects a breadth of topics in physics which apply both cosmic and nano-sized perspectives, this book tackles contemporary topics such as the structure of both the universe and the atom and the mathematical laws that apply to t…
This volume presents five pedagogical articles spanning frontier developments in contemporary nuclear physics ranging from the physics of a single nucleon to nucleosynthesis in the Big Bang. Although the objectives of Advances in Nuclear Physics have been and will continue to be…
