Crystallography: A Very Short Introduction Av A. M. (emeritus Professor Of Physics Oxford Emeritus Fellow Of Jesus College Oxford Visiting Professor U

Crystals have fascinated us for centuries with their beauty and symmetry, and have often been invested with magical powers. The use of X-ray diffraction, first pioneered in 1912 by father and son William and Lawrence Bragg, enabled us to probe the structure of molecules, and heralded the scientific study of crystals, leading to an understanding of their atomic arrangements at a fundamental level. The new discipline, called X-ray crystallography, has subsequentlyevolved into a formidable science that underpins many other scientific areas. Starting from the determination of the structures of very simple crystals, such as that of common salt, today it has become almost routine to determine the positions of tens of thousands of atoms in a crystal. In this Very Short Introduction Mike Glazer shows how the discoveries in crystallography have been applied to the creation of new and important materials, to drugs and pharmaceuticals and to our understanding of genetics, cell biology, proteins,

Nuclear Physics: A Very Short Introduction Av Frank (professor Emeritus Of Theoretical Physics Oxford University And Fellow In Physics Exeter College

Nuclear physics began long before the identification of fundamental particles, with J. J. Thomson''s discovery of the electron at the end of the 19th century, which implied the existence of a positive charge in the atom to make it neutral. In...

Socrates: A Very Short Introduction Av C.c.w. (emeritus Professor Of Philosophy Oxford University And Emeritus Fellow Of Corpus Christi College) Taylo

Socrates has a unique position in the history of philosophy; it is no exaggeration to say that had it not been for his influence on Plato, the whole development of Western philosophy might have been unimaginably different. Yet Socrates wrote nothing himself,...

Antimatter Av Frank (emeritus Professor Of Physics Oxford University And Fellow Exeter College Oxford) Close

Antimatter explores a strange mirror world, where particles have identical yet opposite properties to those that make up the familiar matter we encounter everyday; where left becomes right, positive becomes negative; and where, should matter and antimatter...
