El Clima Terráqueo

Atapuerca ha pasado de ser un nombre casi desconocido a adquirir una resonancia triunfal: las excavaciones desarrolladas en esa sierra burgalesa pueden presumir de haber encontrado la mayor acumulación mundial de fósiles de homínidos, y entre sus logros más relevantes se cuentan el más antiguo, el primer acto de canibalismo o el primer regalo fúnebre del que hay noticia. Los responsables científicos del proyecto han levantado alrededor del yacimiento una industria de popularización del conocimiento que incluye decenas de libros de divulgación, documentales televisivos, exposiciones...

The findings reported in this book on the methods of cluster measurements will lead to new avenues using nondestructive mass spectrometry and dipole mass isomers. Much attention is given to the physics and chemistry of fullerenes and nanotubes, including the problems surrounding the formation and growth of nanotubes, electron characteristics of fullerenes, the influence of solvents, simulation of the properties of carbon clusters, etc. Some unique experimental data on the conversion of aerosols into aerogels with the formation of fractal structures is provided. In addition, the book covers...

This well-illustrated resource provides vital cross-section information for the atomic and molecular collision processes taking place in the boundary region of magnetically confined fusion plasmas and in other laboratory and astrophysical low-temperature plasmas. The expertly assessed information in this noteworthy volume includes the most recent experimental and theoretical results presented in a convenient format. Coverage includes the processes of electron-impact excitation and ionization of plasma edge atoms, electron-ion recombination, dissociative collision processes involving electrons ...

"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.
