Beschreibung

'Strange Materials' explores the fascinating world of unconventional materials that are revolutionizing science and technology. From metamaterials that bend light in seemingly impossible ways to programmable matter that changes properties on demand, this comprehensive guide examines how these extraordinary substances are reshaping our understanding of what matter can do.

 
The book skillfully bridges theoretical physics with practical applications, making complex concepts accessible through real-world examples and clear explanations. The journey begins with foundational material science principles before diving into three main categories of strange materials: metamaterials, programmable matter, and materials with contradictory properties.

 
Through detailed case studies and researcher interviews, readers discover how materials can become stronger when stretched or manipulate quantum effects for practical purposes. The book's interdisciplinary approach weaves together insights from quantum physics, engineering, and biological systems, demonstrating how nature's innovations inspire synthetic material development.

 
The narrative progresses from historical context, starting with the discovery of plastics, through to cutting-edge applications in energy, medicine, and computing. While technical concepts are thoroughly explained, the focus remains on practical applications and near-future possibilities, making it valuable for both professionals and educated enthusiasts. The inclusion of laboratory data and industry applications grounds theoretical concepts in reality, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of how these strange materials are driving technological innovation.

Genes - A Very Short...

Jonathan Slack

In this exploration of the concept of the gene, Jonathan Slack looks at the discovery, nature, and role of genes in both evolution and development. Explaining the nature of genetic variation in the human population, how hereditary factors were identified as molecules of DNA, and how certain specific mutations can lead to disease, Slack highlights how DNA variants are used to trace human ancestry and migration, and can also be used by forensic scientists to identify individuals in crime. Slack also explores issues such as the role of genetic heritability and IQ as well as the changes that occur in the genes of populations during evolution. 
 
 
 
An ideal guide for anyone curious about what genes are and how genetics can be put to use, this Very Short Introduction demonstrates the ways in which the gene concept has been understood and used by molecular biologists, population biologists, and social scientists around the world.
