El universo interior

"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.

No obstante la precaria difusión que en nuestro medio han tenido y todavía tienen los clásicos libros de Alcide d'Orbigny sobre sus viajes a la América meridional, en Bolivia podemos aseverar, con grata sorpresa, que los escritos del sabio naturalista francés dedicados a nuestro país, han sido y son leídos, estudiados y analizados en diversos ensayos publicados, desde el siglo XIX hasta la fecha, por un selecto grupo de científicos, intelectuales y artistas bolivianos.

This volume presents the proceedings of a 1986 Advanced Study Institute entitled "Structure/Reactivity and Thermochemistry of Ions", held at Les Arcs, France, June 30 to July 11, 1986. The format of a NATO Institute is ideally suited to in-depth communications between scien tists of diverse backgrounds. Particularly in the field of ion physics and chemistry, where on-going research involves physicists, physical chemists, and organic chemists - who use a variety of experimental and theoretical techniques - it is found that in the relaxed but stimula ting atmosphere of a NATO ASI, each...
