Summary

Polymer Tech Advances explores the revolutionary potential of polymer technology in addressing pressing global challenges. It argues that advancements in areas like self-healing polymers, conductive polymers, and biodegradable polymers represent a significant shift towards more sustainable and technologically advanced materials. For instance, self-healing polymers could drastically reduce maintenance costs in infrastructure, while conductive polymers are already transforming flexible electronics and energy storage.

 
The book systematically progresses from fundamental polymer science to cutting-edge innovations. It begins with the basics of polymer structure and synthesis, providing a solid foundation for understanding the more complex concepts discussed later. It then delves into the specifics of self-healing materials, exploring their chemical mechanisms and applications in coatings and adhesives.

 
Next, the text examines conductive polymers and their role in organic solar cells and wearable technology. Finally, the book addresses biodegradable polymers as a solution to plastic pollution, examining their degradation mechanisms and assessing their environmental benefits.

 
Throughout, the book emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach, highlighting the connections between polymer science and fields like chemistry, materials science, and environmental science. It offers a balanced perspective, acknowledging both the opportunities and the challenges associated with these innovations, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the future of materials science and sustainable solutions.

    Artificial intelligence is everywhere—it’s in our houses and phones and cars. AI makes decisions about what we should buy, watch, and read, and it won’t be long before AI’s in our hospitals, combing through our records. Maybe soon it will even be deciding who’s innocent, and who goes to jail . . .But most of us don’t understand how AI works. We hardly know what it is.In "Is the Algorithm Plotting Against Us?", AI expert Kenneth Wenger deftly explains the complexity at AI’s heart, demonstrating its potential and exposing its shortfalls. Wenger empowers readers to answer the question—What exactly is AI?—at a time when its hold on tech, society, and our imagination is only getting stronger.

    This book explores the concepts of our planet Earth being a conscious entity, and all of the incredible places life has been found, around, on, and inside our planet. 
    I believe that planet Earth (also known as Gaia) is a conscious being in its own right. Many of the ancients also believed the same thing. 
    Even metaphysical philosophies like Theosophy talk about the Gaia consciousness and that there are even higher level beings like the Solar Logos. 
    There is an amazing amount of life on Earth—much of which has only been discovered in recent decades. 
    For example: did you know that life penetrates the Earth’s crust down to at least seven miles beneath the Ocean’s seabed, and possibly much deeper. 
    That life exists in Lake Vostok beneath the Antarctic Ice which hasn’t been in contact with the surface for many thousands of years? 
    There has also been new bacteria found on the International Space Station and in meteorites which have hit the Earth. 
    Life exists on our planet in many unusual and amazing places and you will be amazed at its diversity.

    The amazing true story of the man behind modern weather predictionConsider a world without weather prediction. How would we know when to evacuate communities ahead of fires or floods, or figure out what to wear tomorrow? Until 40 years ago, we couldn’t forecast weather conditions beyond ten days. Renowned climate scientist Dr. Jagadish Shukla is largely to thank for modern weather forecasting. Born in rural India with no electricity, plumbing, or formal schools, he attended classes that were held in a cow shed. Shukla grew up amid turmoil: overwhelming monsoons, devastating droughts, and unpredictable crop yields. His drive brought him to the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, despite little experience. He then followed an unlikely path to MIT and Princeton, and the highest echelons of climate science. His work, which has enabled us to predict weather farther into the future than previously thought possible, allows us to feed more people, save lives, and hold on to hope in a warming world.Paired with his philanthropic endeavors and extreme dedication to the field, Dr. Shukla has been lauded internationally for his achievements, including a shared Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore for his governmental research on climate change. A Billion Butterflies is a wondrous insider’s account of climate science and an unbelievable memoir of his life. Understanding dynamical seasonal prediction will change the way you experience a thunderstorm or interpret a forecast; understanding its origins and the remarkable story of the man who discovered it will change the way you see our world.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

    Space's Hidden Forces - How Dark...

    For centuries, humans have gazed up at the night sky in awe, wondering what lies beyond the stars. With the invention of powerful telescopes, astronomers began mapping galaxies, studying their motion, and uncovering patterns in how they moved through space. But something strange started to appear in the data. Galaxies were spinning in ways that defied the known laws of gravity. Based on what could be seen—the stars, dust, and gas—the galaxies should have been flying apart. The visible mass simply wasn’t enough to account for the gravitational pull holding everything together. This marked the beginning of a great cosmic mystery. 
    In the 1930s, Swiss-American astronomer Fritz Zwicky made one of the first observations that hinted at this invisible force. He studied a cluster of galaxies and noticed that they were moving too fast to be held together by the visible matter alone. He proposed the existence of “dunkle Materie,” or dark matter—an unknown substance that made up the missing mass. At the time, his ideas were largely ignored or dismissed as speculative. But in the decades that followed, more evidence began to emerge, and dark matter slowly gained credibility within the scientific community. 
    Fast forward to the 1970s, astronomer Vera Rubin provided some of the most convincing evidence that dark matter was real. By analyzing the rotation curves of spiral galaxies, she showed that stars far from the center of galaxies were moving just as quickly as those near the core. According to Newtonian physics, the stars on the edges should move slower, as the gravitational pull should weaken with distance from the center. But that wasn’t happening. Something unseen was holding these stars in orbit, acting like a glue that bound the galaxies together. This unseen substance, which does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, became known as dark matter.
