Electromagnetism: Volume 2
There are four forces in our universe. Two act only at the very smallest scales and one only at the very biggest. For everything inbetween, there is electromagnetism. The theory of electromagnetism is described by four gloriously simple and beautiful vector calculus equations known as the Maxwell equations. These are the first genuinely fundamental equations that we meet in our physics education and they survive, essentially unchanged, in our best modern theories of physics. They also serve as a blueprint for what subsequent laws of physics look like. This textbook takes us on a tour of the Maxwell equations and their many solutions. It starts with the basics of electric and magnetic phenomena and explains how their unification results in waves that we call light. It then describes more advanced topics such as superconductors, monopoles, radiation, and electromagnetism in matter. The book concludes with a detailed review of the mathematics of vector calculus.
Fluid Mechanics: Volume 4
Take anything in the universe, put it in a box, and heat it up. Regardless of what you start with, the motion of the substance will be described by the equations of fluid mechanics. This remarkable universality is the reason why fluid mechanics is important. The key equation of fluid mechanics is the Navier-Stokes equation. This textbook starts with the basics of fluid flows, building to the Navier-Stokes equation while explaining the physics behind the various terms and exploring the astonishingly rich landscape of solutions. The book then progresses to more advanced topics, including waves, fluid instabilities, and turbulence, before concluding by turning inwards and describing the atomic constituents of fluids. It introduces ideas of kinetic theory, including the Boltzmann equation, to explain why the collective motion of 1023 atoms is, under the right circumstances, always governed by the laws of fluid mechanics.
Classical Mechanics: Volume 1
Any education in theoretical physics begins with the laws of classical mechanics. The basics of the subject were laid down long ago by Galileo and Newton and are enshrined in the famous equation F=ma that we all learn in school. But there is much more to the subject and, in the intervening centuries, the laws of classical mechanics were reformulated to emphasis deeper concepts such as energy, symmetry, and action. This textbook describes these different approaches to classical mechanics, starting with Newton's laws before turning to subsequent developments such as the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approaches. The book emphasises Noether's profound insights into symmetries and conservation laws, as well as Einstein's vision of spacetime, encapsulated in the theory of special relativity. Classical mechanics is not the last word on theoretical physics. But it is the foundation for all that follows. The purpose of this book is to provide this foundation.
Smart Materials for Energy Storage and Biomedical Applications
Nanoscience & Nanotechnologies
Nanoscience has explored new modelling and new devices in the applied sciences and technologies, in health and life sciences. This includes work on structures, nano-machines, communications, environment and materials science, closing the gap for society toward a sustainable civilization. Feynman's Plenty of Room (1959) opened a new perspective/science in society debate: how can we handle the applications--and--implications of nanoscience? What is the human factor in the 21st century? This volume offers both the state-of-the-art in the field and the corresponding research with discussion of exciting developments in nanoscience technologies, including historical, educational and societal aspects. For the first time, in a unique volume, it brings together cutting-edge chapters in a multi-disciplinary and historical context. It describes the ways it differently accounted for variation in unlike countries and consequently how its results remain, still nowadays, a debated question, as well as due to constraints preventing an extensive exploration of its remarkable historiography. It is written by leading authoritative scholars working in the various respective fields. This book is ideal for scientists, historians, and scholars interested in nanoscience and its historical-societal ramifications.

Exploring the Electronic, Magnetic, Optical and Thermoelectric
The study investigates the structural, magnetic, electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of MST (half-semi metallic) compound under strain engineering. Experimentally, MST is metallic nature with zero gap, low thermal conductivity, and minute thermoelectric efficiency (ZT 0.01 at 300K). By applying biaxial strain (tensile and compressive), the gap increased, showing a shift from -4% to +15% with SCF and -3% to +10% with GGA and GGA + TB-mBJ methods. At 4% tensile strain, MST exhibited half-semi metallic behavior with a significant gap (1.24 eV) at a high-symmetry point. Hybrid + SOC calculations showed enhanced thermoelectric performance, with ZT reaching 0.716 for p-type and 0.723 for n-type, suggesting MST potential for thermoelectric applications.

New Euclidon Method of Generating Stationary Vacuum Einstein
The purpose of this book is to systematically derive, as much as possible, the main exact asymptotically flat solutions of the static and stationary axially symmetric vacuum Einstein-Maxwell equations. The primary 'building block' used is the Euclidon solution, which has a clear physical interpretation as a relativistic accelerated non-inertial reference frame in the flat space-time.In the first part, static Einstein fields are considered. The one-static Euclidon solution and its generalizations are obtained by various methods.The second part deals with the main classes of stationary vacuum Einstein field solutions. The one-stationary soliton solution, the one-stationary Euclidon solution, and its physical interpretation are obtained.In the third part, using the method of variation of parameters, solutions are obtained including a two-Euclidon stationary solution, which coincides with the Kerr-NUT solution.The fourth part deals with the main classes of static Einstein-Maxwell fields. The methods of superposition of the one-stationary Euclidon solution, the one-stationary soliton solution, and the two-Euclidon stationary solution with arbitrary external static electrovacuum fields are also applied to this case.The fifth part deals with stationary Einstein-Maxwell fields. The generalized solutions are constructed using symmetry transformations from the previously found solutions.

Mother Hubble's Cupboard and Other Poems About Inner and Outer Space
Reading Mother Hubble's Cupboard by Sandra Lindow is like sitting in the overlap of a dozen different planet's busy orbits watching them whizz by, except instead of planets they are physics, ecology, sensuality, folklore, and more. Oh, and also sometimes planets. The first section casts the Hubble Telescope as the titular Mother Hubble, and more than just a tool she's a character, a photographer documenting the mysteries of space with an artist's eye. The poetry balances the desire to look up and out and understand with the impulse look back towards the past to name and emotionally process our place in the universe - for example, the Royal Astronomy's Society nickname of the Unicorn Black Hole, not to mention dwarf stars, universal soup, universal trees and even metaphors new to Lindow's collection, like the universe as a Russian Matreshka doll. And as much as the book wanders far beyond our planet and our solar system and even further, Lindow still remembers to bring us home occasionally. As she says, "the great blue beast you ride...She's all you have. Ride/gently." -Amelia Gorman, Field Guide to Invasive Species of Minnesota

From Newton's Second Law to the Decoding of Complex Fluctuations
This book introduces the latest results of interdisciplinary research on complex systems. Dr. He Zonglu obtained the nonlinear autoregressive integrated (NLARI) model for describing complex systems by mathematizing Newton's second law in stochastic systems. The NLARI model clarifies the generative mechanism and regulatory mechanism of complex systems (open systems, feedback loops, system evolution, randomness, nonlinearity, fractality and adaptability). In particular, nonlinear dynamical behavior and fractal behavior arise from the same physical integer-dimensional topological space, the former depending on the restoring and resisting forces within the system, and the latter as a product of fluctuations, which are the system's response to external perturbations. Self-adaptive functions are the product of maintaining stable fixed points through the resilience of Gaussian function component with the resistance. Separate complementary modeling of networks, emergence, spontaneous order, and self-organizing behavior. Applied results include SSCCPI circuits for efficient temporal signal propagation of high-intensity information in cortical networks, heart rate/heart rate variability for identifying heart disease and predicting the risk of sudden cardiac death, and optimal pathway for economic growth. This book demonstrates that the optimal way to increase profits at von Neumann equilibrium prices is achieved by a dynamic equilibrium-stabilizing fixed point formed by market competition, and that the ratio of average investment to economic resistance coefficient determines the rate of economic growth. NLARI model-based approach standardizes the research methodology in the field of complex systems. The methodology is highly interpretable, since all parameters are derived mathematically, have the same dynamical meaning and different physical meaning. The book details modeling, parameter estimation, statistical tests, algorithms, prediction, simulation, and interpretation of results and phenomena, and provides examples of applications in biology, network theory, medicine, and economics. This book is applicable to the study of complexity in a wide range of fields.

Matter-Dimensions Symmetry
To make a better parallel between quantum entanglement and Young's double-slit interferometer (or Young's interferences) we find the matter-dimension symmetry which says that in 3 dimensions we have: with x: amplification ratio, mi.x簡 = Mplanck, . .., in 5 dimensions we have: with x: amplification ratio, mi3.x⁴ = Mplanck3 and in n dimensions: m^(n-2).x^(n-1) = h^((n-2 )/2)*C^((n-2)/2)/G^((n-2)/2), with Mplanck^d = h^(d/2)*C^(d/2)/G^(d/2). A magnetically Arrested Disks should prevent the formation of jets via an accretion disk. But particles as small as neutrinos come out of an accretion disk and function after the transformation of their initial mass mi: mi → x.mi as matter (transformed matter) source of jets. In a dense plasma, such as that present in the hearts of stars, the number of neutrinos emitted per kilogram of matter can be of the order of 10⊃1;⁸ to 10⊃2;⁰ neutrinos per second, while on average, a kilogram of matter emits approximately 3 x 10⊃1;⁰ neutrinos per second, and with black holes core edge we reach 1.75288144895719 x 10⁹ more neutrinos emitted (10⊃2;⁰ x 1.75288144895719 x 10⁹) to produce-transform x.m_anti-neutrino = 5.704892367906067*10^-34 kg (x>=10⊃2;⁰) from matter-dimension symmetry process.
Reinventing Seti
For millennia, humanity has looked up at the sprawling tapestry of stars and wondered what lay beyond. With time, we learned that each star is not a pinprick point in a domed sky, but a massive plasma sphere so far away that the distance becomes incomprehensible to the human mind, measured in light years of millions and billions. This distance invokes crucial questions. Do we share the universe with other intelligent lifeforms? If so, how do we approach the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)? Lastly, do we need to examine our assumptions about extraterrestrial intelligence? Reinventing SETI clears out the cobwebs of outdated or wrongheaded SETI paradigms such as Fermi's Paradox, the Drake Equation, and METI (i.e., proactively sending signals from Earth to putative aliens). It argues that scientists should approach the pursuit of extraterrestrials (ETs) in a more effective manner. Author John Gertz states that ETs, as biological lifeforms themselves, cannot accomplish interstellar travel, but have instead placed robotic probes throughout the universe, perhaps even in our own Solar System. Gertz also warns that humankind is woefully unprepared for the day of First Contact with an alien probe right here in our own backyard. He suggests contingency planning, involving international cooperation as well as broad cross-disciplinary expertise. Humorous and deeply informative, this book takes the reader through the universe, conventional SETI methods, ideas on future ET exploration, and a discussion on who else shares this space.

Understanding Time and Space
Understanding Time and Space is an invitation to the theory of relativity for anyone who is now or has ever been an inquisitive high school student.Relativity can seem violently counterintuitive. It says that different observers can describe the world in very different ways and they can all be correct. It helps to be reminded that you've known this since childhood, when you learned that the direction you call left might be the same as the direction I call right, and we can both be correct. This book illuminates and demystifies the theory of relativity through repeated analogies to that kind of everyday experience. Dozens of drawings, analogous to the maps we all use to navigate through ordinary space, emphasize that relativity is a branch of geometry -- the geometry of navigating through that more mysterious venue called spacetime.The reader is assisted by exercises sprinkled throughout, and by 'dangerous curve' sections that identify and combat the most common misunderstandings.Steven Landsburg is a professor at the University of Rochester. He has published widely in mathematics, economics, physics and philosophy. His hobby is answering questions about relativity on the internet, which has taught him a lot about how to be helpful.
