In quantum mechanical systems, such vortices are robust entities whose behaviours are governed by the strict rules of topology. The physics of quantum vor...

Physics of the lorentz group
This book explains the Lorentz mathematical group in a language familiar to physicists. While the three-dimensional rotation group is one of the standard mathematical tools in physics, the Lorentz group of the four-dimensional Minkowski space is still very strange to most present-day physicists. ...

Sterile neutrino dark matter
This book is a new look at one of the hottest topics in contemporary science – dark matter. It is the pioneering text dedicated to sterile neutrinos as candidate particles for dark matter, challenging some of the standard assumptions that may be true for some dark-matter candidates, but not for a...

Beyond curie
In the 116 year history of the Nobel Prize in Physics, only two women have won the award; Marie Curie (1903) and Maria Mayer (1963). During the 60 years between those awards, several women did work of similar calibre. This book focuses on those women, providing biographies for each that discuss b...

Stimuli-responsive polymers
This book provides a general introduction to nanogels and the design of various stimuli-sensitive nanogels that can control drug release in response to specific stimuli. Formed by physically or chemically crosslinking polymers, nanogels are three-dimensional nanosized networks. They have highly i...
