El químico escéptico

In previous volumes in this series, Advances in Metal and Semiconductor Clusters, the focus has been on atomic clusters of metals, semiconductors and carbon. Fundamental gas phase studies have been surveyed, and most recently scientists have explored new materials which can be produced from clusters or cluster precursors. In this latest volume, the focus shifts to clusters composed primarily of non-metal molecules or atoms which have one or more metal atoms seeded into the cluster as an impurity. These clusters provide model systems for metal ion solvation processes and metal-ligand...

Biographies and bibliographies of members are included in many of the volumes. Lists of members are usually given on covers of the numbers.

En la década de 1940 un astrónomo tuvo una de esas ideas que suelen terminar convertidas en un hermoso bollo de papel para jugar al básquet en la oficina: si en la Tierra hay tanta luz y la atmósfera nos empaña los anteojos estelares, ¿por qué no construir un gran telescopio y enviarlo al espacio? Imaginen la recepción de esta locura científica, en tiempos pre-lunares y, sobre todo, pre-transbordadores espaciales... Sin embargo, desde entonces se construyeron varios telescopios orbitales, perfectamente preparados para escudriñar el universo (¿y más allá?). Y sin dudas el más...

The accessible style and language of this book mean that a greater understanding of the fundamentals of quantum mechanics is available to all readers, regardless of their familiarity with the topic. Explaining principles, theories, interpretations, and experiments with anecdotes, examples, and cross references, this book makes them more understandable, and more importantly, entertaining. Among the concepts discussed are black holes, Schrödinger’s cat, and the Higgs boson. El estilo y lenguaje accesible de este libro significan que una mayor comprensión de los fundamentos de la mecánica...
