Photomedicine and stem cells
Janus, the ancient Roman god depicted with two faces is an appropriate metaphor for light therapy. In the right photodynamic therapy conditions, light is able to kill nearly anything that is living such as cancers, microorganisms, parasites, and more. On the opposite face, light of the correct wa...

International linear collider (ilc)
The most powerful way of making progress in particle physics is to build a new collider with a larger energy. The best option for this is a project called the International Linear Collider, which is a linear e+e– collider with energies in the range of (250–1000) GeV. It will be a complex, mega-sc...

Classical mechanics, volume 3
Classical Mechanics: Newton’s laws and uniform circular motion focuses on the question: “Why does an object move?”. To answer that question, we turn to Isaac Newton. The hallmark of any good introductory physics series is its treatment of Newton’s laws of motion. These laws are difficult concepts...

The physical microbe
Physical biology is a fusion of biology and physics. This book narrows down the scope of physical biology by focusing on the microbial cell; exploring the physical phenomena of noise, feedback, and variability that arise in the cellular information-processing circuits used by bacteria. It looks a...

Defining and measuring nature
Weights and measures form an essential part of our ingrained view of the world. It is just about impossible to function effectively without some internalized system of measurement, enabling us to estimate and judge size, weight, duration, distance and value. In this volume, author Jeffrey Huw Wil...

Causality rules
Scattering of light by light is a fundamental process arising at the quantum level through vacuum fluctuations. This short book will explain how, remarkably enough, this quantum process can be described in terms of classical quantities. The description is derived from general principles, such as ...

The tai chi in star formation
Tai chi, a Chinese martial art developed based on the laws of nature, emphasises how "to conquer the unyielding with the yielding". The recent observation of star formation shows that stars result from the interaction between gravity, turbulence and magnetic fields. This interaction again follows...
