La Sombra De La Tormenta

"The Higgs boson ... is the key to understanding why mass exists and how atoms are possible. After billions of dollars and decades of effort by more than six thousand researchers at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland--a doorway is opening into the mind-boggling world of dark matter and beyond. Caltech physicist and acclaimed writer Sean Carroll explains both the importance of the Higgs boson and the ultimately human story behind the greatest scientific achievement of our time"--Publisher.

A través de la historia, uno de los azotes que ha sufrido la humanidad es la pérdida de productos agrícolas debida a enfermedades de las plantas causadas por diferentes patógenos y factores ambientales.

As computing power increases, a growing number of macroscopic phenomena are modeled at the molecular level. Consequently, new requirements are generated for the understanding of molecular dynamics in exotic conditions. This book illustrates the importance of detailed chemical dynamics and the role it plays in the phenomenology of a number of extreme environments. Each chapter addresses one or more extreme environments, outlines the associated chemical mechanisms of relevance, and then covers the leading edge science that elucidates the chemical coupling. The chapters exhibit a balance between ...

In a world full of false information, prejudices, myths, deceits and poor knowledge, nobody is the possessor of the supreme truth or has the definitive answers to our questions (not even Google). However, logical and skeptical thinking is our weapon to combat false argumentation, crazy reasoning and superstition. It is a difficult process that requires our full attention, but it is worth it. The Universe's Guide to Skeptics will explain the principles of skeptical thinking and teach you how it has served to debunk some of the greatest conspiracy myths, fallacies, and theories, from homeopathy ...
