Matter and the universe -- Cosmology / Gravity / New astronomy / Particles and the standard model / Superstring theory / Quantum matter -- Manipulating atoms with photons / Quantum world of ultra-cold atoms / Superfluids / Quantum phase transitions / Quanta in action -- Essential quantum entanglement / Quanta, ciphers and computers / Small scale structures and "nanoscience" / Calculation and computation -- Physics of chaotic systems / Complex systems / Collaborative physics, e-science and the grid : realizing Licklider's dream / Science in action -- Biophysics and biomolecular materials / Medical physics / Physics of materials / Physics and society / Wendy L. Freedman, Edward W. Kolb -- Ronald Adler -- Arnon Dar -- Chris Quigg -- Michael B. Green -- Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Jean Dalibard -- William Phillips, Christopher Foot -- Henry Hall -- Subir Sachdev -- Anton Zeilinger -- Artur Ekert -- Yoseph Imry -- Henry Abarbanel -- Antonio Politi -- Tony Hey, Anne Trefethen -- Cyrus Safinya -- Nicolaj Pavel -- Robert Cahn -- Ugo Amaldi. Part I. Part II. Part III. Part IV. Part V.
Underpinning all the other branches of science, physics affects the way we live our lives, and ultimately how life itself functions. Recent scientific advances have led to dramatic reassessment of our understanding of the world around us, and made a significant impact on our lifestyle. In this book, leading international experts, including Nobel prize winners, explore the frontiers of modern physics, from the particles inside an atom to the stars that make up a galaxy, from nano-engineering and brain research to high-speed data networks. Revealing how physics plays a vital role in what we see around us, this book will fascinate scientists of all disciplines, and anyone wanting to know more about the world of physics today.
