This book explores quantum-mechanical scattering in macroscopic targets and the conditions for coherent scattering on a macroscopic scale. It introduces coherence domains and examines their role in scattering, emphasizing the momentum and energy transfer to the target.
This book presents physical kinetics from a unique angle, deriving the Boltzmann equation from atomic motion using Landau’s elementary excitations. It details the kinetic theory of classical gas and plasma, the lifetime of phonons, and the features of superconductivity.
This book explores the mechanics of smart nanocomposite sandwich plates, covering theories of buckling, vibration and dynamic instability. It presents models for material properties and derives governing equations using the energy method and Hamilton’s principle.
Pyrometers are calibrated for blackbodies (BB), but real objects radiate differently, causing measurement errors. This book proposes original correction methods that account for an object’s radiation spectrum and its temperature dependence to increase the accuracy of pyrometry.
The unique experiments, numerous measurements, and resulting data presented here, have been collected over 30 years of research and prove with scientific precision, that consciousness involves more than just the brain, but actually depends on the very fabric of the universe.
This textbook is a unique treatise on the present status of particle physics summarised for physics students at an introductory level: it provides insights into essential experimental and theoretical techniques and will gradually deepen the reader’s understanding of the field.
Philosophical Semantics
This book offers an innovative systematic approach to meaning and reference, unifying insights from philosophers like Wittgenstein and Frege while exposing errors of formalists from Quine to Kripke. It shows how the cartography of philosophy of language can be redrawn.
This book presents insights into manganese oxides, materials with important technological applications in magnetic refrigeration and sensors. With elegant and didactic mathematical proofs, it will interest both researchers and the general reader interested in the subject.
Geometric and Wave Optics
A comprehensive course covering geometric, wave, and quantum optics, with applications and devices. Featuring clear diagrams, it offers detailed explanations with a physical approach and precise mathematical formalism. For undergraduate students, engineers, and researchers.
Explore Boltzmann’s probabilistic theory of heat, covering entropy, the Gibbs distribution, fluctuations, and dissipation. With applications from phase transitions to earthquakes, this book is for students and researchers seeking new ways of investigation in Thermodynamics.
Construction projects require engineers, surveyors, and contractors to interact effectively to ensure a project is built precisely. The knowledge of basic words, concepts, and methods used by surveyors will greatly help engineers during this interaction.
The Mystery of Ball Lightning Revealed
This book explores a new phenomenon: self-confined circulating light. It explains the paradox of ball lightning and microworld anomalies, and shows how nuclear energy can be extracted from ordinary water. Based on over 80 published scientific articles.
From energy and electronics to medicine, oxide materials are essential. This book presents the fundamentals of oxide powders, establishing a connection between their structure and electromagnetic properties to pave the way for new technological and biomedical applications.
This book generalizes transforms from accelerated frames to inertial frames—essential for real-world applications where labs are not truly inertial. It covers the theory and derivation of relativistic fictitious forces (Coriolis, centrifugal) and the Thomas Wigner effect.
This book takes a historical and geometrical approach to Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. It details the latest developments in the field, including cutting-edge research on gravitational waves, black holes, and cosmology.
This book explores statistical physics, focusing on subjects from condensed matter to black holes. It discusses gas-liquid transitions, the entropy of earthquakes, the hadronization of the quark-gluon plasma, and the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics.
This book provides the “picture of reality” for the quantum world that eluded Einstein. It offers a realistic interpretation compatible with all experimental evidence, plus new perspectives on dark energy, dark matter, and stellar collapse, summarizing 50 years of research.
This book integrates Western science with Oriental philosophy, proposing a unified theory of physics. Using a simple mathematical model, it explains the fundamental concepts of dynamics, connecting Newtonian mechanics, relativity, and quantum wave dynamics.
This is the first book to present the direct method for solving inverse problems in X-ray spectroscopy, scattering, tomography, and reflectometry. It discusses the theory for multilayer structures and the phase problem in electron structural crystallography.
This book uses complexity research to overcome the categorizations and opposites that limit our descriptions of existence. It offers innovative philosophical insights to arrive at a unified vision of nature and society, governed by the same laws of non-linearity.
