AdS/CFT Correspondence in Condensed Matter
This book introduces, in an elementary way, the idea of the anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence to condensed matter physicists. This theory relates a gravity theory in a (d+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter space time to a strongly coupled d-dimensional quantum field theory...

Tying Light in Knots
Topology is the study of properties of geometrical objects that remain invariant as the object is bent, twisted, or otherwise continuously deformed. It has been an indispensable tool in particle physics and solid-state physics for decades, but in recent years it has become increasingly relevant i...

An Introduction to Liquid Crystals
Practically every display technology in use today relies on the flat, energy-efficient construction made possible by liquid crystals. These displays provide visually-crisp, vibrantly-colored images that a short time ago were thought only possible in science fiction. Yet, although liquid crystals ...

Advances in Nanomaterials for Drug Delivery
Nanomedicine is a developing field that includes different disciplines such as material science, chemistry, and engineering and medicine devoted to the design, synthesis and construction of high-tech nanostructures. The ability of these structures to have their chemical and physical properties tu...

Thermal Properties of Matter
The ancient Greeks believed that all matter was composed of four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. Today, we know that there are four states of matter that are remarkably similar: solids (e.g.earth), liquids (e.g. water), gasses (e.g. air), and plasma (e.g. ionized gas produced by fire). Thi...

What’s the Matter with Waves
Like rocket science or brain surgery, quantum mechanics is pigeonholed as a daunting and inaccessible topic, which is best left to an elite few. Authors have run the gamut from hand waving to heavy handed in hopes to dispel this common belief. This particular effort focuses on giving the reader a...

Measuring Nothing, Repeatedly
There have been many recent discussions of the replication crisis in psychology and other social sciences. This has been attributed, in part, to the fact that researchers hesitate to submit null results and journals fail to publish such results. In this book, Allan Franklin and Ronald Laymon anal...

Crystal Engineering
This book is a look at the origin of the molecular architecture of crystals; a topic that is becoming increasingly important and is often termed “crystal engineering”. It is a study of the means of predicting crystal structures and of designing crystals with particular properties by manipulating ...

The Search and Discovery of the Higgs Boson
This book provides a general description of the search for and discovery of the Higgs boson (particle) at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. The goal is to provide a relatively brief overview of the issues, instruments and techniques relevant for this search; written by a physicist who was directly in...
