Product Description: Coming into the 21st century, developments in three major areas of elementary particle physics — the electroweak theory with the Higgs mechanism, quantum chromodynamics, and string theory began to yield more and more concrete and successful results...read more

Product Description: Particle separation is a key process in water and wastewater treatment, with a vital role in meeting water quality standards around the world, and encompassing a very wide range of particulates in widely varying contexts. Recent research has extended the field of application of particle separation to include the sub-micron scale, but innovative treatments are being developed across the board...read more

Product Description: Our journey in search of the origin of matter — and, by extension, the origin of the Universe itself — has taken us deeper and deeper inside atoms. First to come into view was the atomic nucleus, and still further downscale the individual protons and neutrons that constitute the nucleus...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Since the theory was first developed in the early 20th-century, quantum physics has been the foundation of a second industrial revolution, resulting in dazzling new technologies such as superconductivity, fibreoptics, computers, and lasers...read more
