  In this new book, Trainini and his team attempt a step forward and make a series of proposals that come to complete cardiac anatomy, physiology and mechanics. Reading this new investigation is a pleasure that demands continuous attention, so that our "neuronal boxes" do not rebel against the effort it means to sometimes destroy what we have firmly installed in them. The text should be read slowly, as it was never easy to tread in swamp-limited grounds and, as in the ascent to the summit of a difficult mountain, stop now and then to take a breath and enjoy the view as we get near the peak, where we will see the final landscape of the new vision. Then we will be conscious that the effort was worthwhile.

  The Rise of Quantum Computing -...

  Quantum computing is one of the most exciting and transformative areas in modern technology. To understand what quantum computing is, it's important to first grasp the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, the science that underpins it. Classical computers, which most of us are familiar with, process information in binary form, using bits that can be either 0 or 1. However, quantum computing operates on the principles of quantum mechanics, where quantum bits, or qubits, can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously due to a phenomenon called superposition. 
  In classical systems, information is processed in a linear and sequential manner. However, quantum computers harness the power of quantum mechanics to perform calculations in parallel. This is largely due to two key phenomena: superposition and entanglement. Superposition allows qubits to exist in multiple states at once, enabling quantum computers to perform complex computations much faster than classical computers. Entanglement, another quantum phenomenon, allows qubits that are entangled to influence each other, regardless of the distance between them, which further enhances the computational power of quantum systems. 
  The potential for quantum computing to revolutionize industries and fields like cryptography, medicine, and artificial intelligence is immense. For example, quantum algorithms can solve problems in minutes that would take classical computers millennia to complete. This ability to tackle complex problems more efficiently makes quantum computing a game-changer in the quest for faster and more powerful technologies.

  The Royal Institution of Great Britain is renowned the world over, first, because it is a premier arena for the advancement of new scientific and technological knowledge; and second because it highlights the advance of knowledge of all kinds. It bridges the sciences and the humanities, and as much publicity is given to advances in the arts, archaeology, architecture, drama, and literature as to the pure and applied sciences. More famous scientists have lived and worked in the Royal Institution than in any other laboratory in the world. A roll-call includes Rumford, Davy, Faraday, Tyndall, Dewar, Rayleigh, W. H. Bragg, W. L. Bragg, and George Porter. Not only is it the home of continuous electricity, it is also the birthplace of many aspects of molecular biology and viruses and enzymology. 
   
   
   
  Albemarle Street: Portraits, Personalities and Presentations at The Royal institution is a lively and compelling personal selection of the remarkable personalities and achievements of some of the extraordinary scientists and individuals who, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, worked or lectured at 21 Albemarle Street in Mayfair, central London. John Meurig Thomas offers a unique and valuable insight into the history of this prestigious address, having himself lived and worked at the Royal Institution for some twenty years.

  Sex Drugs and Sea Slime - The...

  When viewed from a quiet beach, the ocean, with its rolling waves and vast expanse, can seem calm, even serene. But hidden beneath the sea’s waves are a staggering abundance and variety of active creatures, engaged in the never-ending struggles of life—to reproduce, to eat, and to avoid being eaten. With Sex, Drugs, and Sea Slime, marine scientist Ellen Prager takes us deep into the sea to introduce an astonishing cast of fascinating and bizarre creatures that make the salty depths their home. From the tiny but voracious arrow worms whose rapacious ways may lead to death by overeating, to the lobsters that battle rivals or seduce mates with their urine, to the sea’s masters of disguise, the octopuses, Prager not only brings to life the ocean’s strange creatures, but also reveals the ways they interact as predators, prey, or potential mates. And while these animals make for some jaw-dropping stories—witness the sea cucumber, which ejects its own intestines to confuse predators, or the hagfish that ties itself into a knot to keep from suffocating in its own slime—there’s far more to Prager’s account than her ever-entertaining anecdotes: again and again, she illustrates the crucial connections between life in the ocean and humankind, in everything from our food supply to our economy, and in drug discovery, biomedical research, and popular culture. Written with a diver’s love of the ocean, a novelist’s skill at storytelling, and a scientist’s deep knowledge, Sex, Drugs, and Sea Slime enchants as it educates, enthralling us with the wealth of life in the sea—and reminding us of the need to protect it.
