Understanding Molecular Simulation, Second Edition: From Algorithms to Applications

Understanding Molecular Simulation, Second Edition: From Algorithms to Applications Understanding Molecular Simulation: From Algorithms to Applications explains the physics behind the “recipes” of molecular simulation for materials science. Computer simulators are continuously confronted with questions concerning the choice of a particular technique for a given application. A wide variety of tools exist, so the choice [...]

Deep Down Things: The Breathtaking Beauty of Particle Physics Reviews

Deep Down Things: The Breathtaking Beauty of Particle Physics A useful scientific theory, claimed Einstein, must be explicable to any intelligent person. In Deep Down Things, experimental particle physicist Bruce Schumm has taken this dictum to heart, providing in clear, straightforward prose an elucidation of the Standard Model of particle physics—a theory that stands as [...]

Physics in Nuclear Medicine Reviews

Physics in Nuclear Medicine Experts in their fields provide up-to-date, comprehensive information on the physics underlying modern nuclear medicine and imaging using radioactively labeled tracers. They examine every aspect of the field–from basic atomic physics through radioactivity, isotope production, interaction of radiation with matter, radiation detection, and imaging systems. Examples are presented with solutions worked [...]

Emmy Noether’s Wonderful Theorem

Emmy Noether’s Wonderful Theorem A beautiful piece of mathematics, Noether’s Theorem touches on every aspect of physics. Emmy Noether proved her theorem in 1915 and published it in 1918. This profound concept demonstrates the connection between conservation laws and symmetries. For instance, the theorem shows that a system invariant under translations of time, space, or [...]
