In this fascinating collection of articles and speeches, Albert Einstein reflects not only on the scientific method at work in his own theoretical discoveries, but eloquently expresses a great appreciation for his scientific contemporaries and forefathers, including Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Max Planck, and Niels Bohr. While Einstein is renowned as one of the foremost innovators of modern science, his discoveries uniquely his own, through his own words it becomes clear that Einstein viewed himself as only the most recent in a long line of scientists driven to create new ways of understanding the world and to prove their scientific theories.

As Andrew Brown shows in Keeper of the Nuclear Conscience, Joseph Rotblat's life--from an impoverished childhood in war-torn Warsaw to an active old age that brought honors and public recognition, including the Nobel Peace Prize--is a compelling human story in itself. What gives it added significance is Rotblat's single-minded dedication to peaceful causes, particularly his pursuit of nuclear disarmament.

Did you know that San Diego’s Frozen Zoo is home to preserved DNA samples from over 8,000 endangered or threatened species, or that the tell-tale smell of freshly mowed grass is actually the plant’s version of a distress call? And what about Henrietta Lacks, the “immortal woman” whose cancer cells have been divided and multiplied for research purposes for over 60 years? Even if you think you have a handle on all things trivia, you're guaranteed a big surprise with Now I Know: Science.

For fans of The Astronaut Wives Club, The Mercury 13 reveals the little-known true story of the remarkable women who trained for NASA space flight. In 1961, just as NASA launched its first man into space, a group of women underwent secret testing in the hopes of becoming America’s first female astronauts. They passed the same battery of tests at the legendary Lovelace Foundation as did the Mercury 7 astronauts, but they were summarily dismissed by the boys’ club at NASA and on Capitol Hill.

Eric Scerri presents the intriguing stories of these seven elements - protactinium, hafnium, rhenium, technetium, francium, astatine and promethium. The book follows the historical order of discovery, roughly spanning the two world wars, beginning with the isolation of protactinium in 1917 and ending with that of promethium in 1945. For each element, Scerri traces the research that preceded the discovery, the pivotal experiments, the personalities of the chemists involved, the chemical nature of the new element, and its applications in science and technology.

It's the ultimate technology: nanotechnology - the attempt to build ordinary objects from the atoms up, molecule by molecule. So named because its building blocks are the smallest pieces of matter, nanotechnology will give us complete control over the structure of matter, allowing us to build any substance or structure permitted by the Laws of Nature. Placing atoms as if they were bricks, nano-machines could turn grass clippings into prime sirloins - directly, without cows.

Un tempo si studiava il cielo dall'alto dei templi. Oggi con telescopi spaziali. Un tempo si credeva che l'universo fosse una cupola sopra la Terra piatta. Oggi sappiamo di essere una briciola nello spazio-tempo che si espande dopo il Big Bang. Un tempo ogni civiltà aveva la sua cosmologia. Oggi tutto il mondo ha una sola scienza. In ogni caso, dai miti più ingenui alle teorie scientifiche più ardite, quello dell'Universo resta il "racconto" più affascinante che ha accompagnato l'evoluzione culturale dell'uomo.

From the sleek Aston Martin that spits out bullets, nails, and passengers at the push of a button to the microjet that makes hairpin turns to avoid a heat-seeking missile, the science and technology of James Bond films have kept millions of movie fans guessing for decades. Are these amazing feats and gadgets truly possible? The Science of James Bond takes you on a fascinating excursion through the true science that underlies Bond's most fantastic and off-the-wall accoutrements.

Spanning four decades of dramatic advances in astronomy and planetary science, this book tells the story of eleven iconic exploratory missions and how they have fundamentally transformed our scientific and cultural perspectives on the universe and our place in it

An extraterrestrial colony, in some form, may already exist, just awaiting discovery. But the greatest impediment to such an important scientific discovery may not be technological, but political. No scientific endeavor can be launched without a budget, and matters of money are within the arena of politicians. Dr. Ben Bova explores some of the key players and the arguments waged in a debate of both scientific and cultural priorities.

On the night of March 26, 1938, nuclear physicist Ettore Majorana boarded a ship, cash and passport in hand. He was never seen again. In A Brilliant Darkness, theoretical physicist Joo Magueijo tells the story of Majorana and his research group, the Via Panisperna Boys, who discovered atomic fission in 1934. As Majorana, the most brilliant of the group, began to realize the implications of what they had found, he became increasingly unstable.

Einstein lo aveva predetto: il 14 settembre 2015 viene captata un'onda che avvolge la Terra, originata dalla fusione di due buchi neri e avvenuta a una distanza di 1,3 miliardi di anni luce. Un evento astronomico straordinario che ci fa conoscere l'universo oltre le onde elettromagnetiche. Successivamente un'altra onda, generata dalla collisione di due stelle di neutroni, ci ha consentito di andare all'origine della formazione di metalli pesanti come l'oro e il piombo e di investigare la struttura della materia nucleare.

理論上の天体「ホワイトホール」の存在に迫る！　天才物理学者による圧巻の宇宙論2019年に観測され、ついに存在が明らかになった「ブラックホール」。光さえも吸い込むこの天体は、どのような運命をたどるのか。

Die Welt der Quanten ist voller atemberaubender Geschichten und Ideen – von winzigen Teilchen, die sich an zwei verschiedenen Orten gleichzeitig befinden, von Katzen, die gleichzeitig lebendig und tot sind, von geheimnisvoller Teleportation. Gleichzeitig bestimmt Quantenphysik längst unseren Alltag: Laser, Mikrochips oder MRT-Bilder wären ohne Quantentheorie nicht möglich. Immer wieder heißt es: Quanten sind so kompliziert, dass sie höchstens von ein paar Wissenschaftsgenies verstanden werden können.

In der 10. Staffel Sag mal, du als Physiker kommen Johannes Kückens, Jens Schröder und Michael Büker wieder zu euch nach Hause. Sie besprechen, an welchen Stellen unsere Autos sicherer werden, wie wir unsere Häuser und uns selbst am besten dämmen, wie Physik unsere Arbeit im Home-Office störungsfrei macht, warum Plastik einen besseren Ruf haben sollte und ob ein Wunder namens "Kalte Kernfusion“ die Energiewende bringen kann. Und natürlich gibt es in der Jubiläumsstaffel auch wieder Ausflüge ins All.

"16 Luglio 1945. È la mattina del giorno X. Io sono qui, a Compania Hill. Appena si avvicinano le 5.30 comincia il conto alla rovescia. La musica di Caijkovskij diffusa dall'interfono ha il compito di rasserenare gli animi mentre aspettiamo la detonazione". Sono parole di Leona Woods, la fisica donna che ha partecipato direttamente alla creazione della bomba atomica.

Quant’è grande l’universo? Da che cosa è composto? Com’è nato? Come evolverà?
