  Are the physical laws of our universe finely tuned, such that life can exist? What does this imply about how our universe formed? Questions like these are examined in Nature's Balancing Act, presented for a wide audience. From the Big Bang to present-day research, ranging from gravitational waves to experiments on antimatter, our physical laws are shown to be slightly off balance, allowing life to exist.In its opening chapters, the following is asked: What would happen if the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together, were slightly stronger or weaker? We know today that pushing the nuclear force off balance by just a few percent would create a different universe, unlike our own. Also, for life to exist, there must be a slight imbalance in the way matter and antimatter were created in the Big Bang. These are just two examples of the fine tuning of physical laws that must happen for the cosmological conditions to be right for life to exist. If the universe wasn't “just so,” you wouldn't be here to hear about it!Even with a favorable universe, how did life on Earth begin? Can human life continue to exist for millions of years, or will we cause our own extinction? These topics are considered in the book and provide a fascinating look at our existence on Earth and the possibility of life elsewhere.

  Condensed matter physics is a fundamental branch of physics that explores the physical properties of solid and liquid states of matter. It seeks to understand how the collective behavior of a large number of atoms and electrons gives rise to the diverse physical properties observed in materials. This field not only provides insight into the fundamental principles governing matter but also drives technological advancements in electronics, nanotechnology, and quantum computing. 
  Historically, condensed matter physics evolved from solid-state physics, which primarily focused on crystalline solids and their electronic properties. The development of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century revolutionized the field, leading to an in-depth understanding of electronic band structures and the behavior of semiconductors. With time, the study expanded to include a broader range of materials, including amorphous solids, polymers, superconductors, and complex fluids. Today, condensed matter physics plays a crucial role in material science, engineering, and applied physics, shaping modern technological advancements. 
  One of the key aspects of condensed matter physics is the study of crystal structures and atomic interactions. The arrangement of atoms in a solid determines its electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties. Crystals are defined by periodic arrangements of atoms, forming lattice structures that can be analyzed using mathematical tools like the reciprocal lattice and Brillouin zones. In contrast, amorphous materials, such as glass, lack long-range order but still exhibit unique physical properties. The bonding mechanisms in solids—ionic, covalent, metallic, and van der Waals interactions—play a crucial role in determining the stability and functionality of materials.

  A prize-winning memoirist and nature writer turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future 
   
   
   
  A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? 
   
   
   
  In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.
