The history of scientific research and technological development is replete with examples of breakthroughs that have advanced the frontiers of knowledge, but seldom does it record events that constitute paradigm shifts in broad areas of intellectual pursuit. One notable exception, however, is that of spin electronics (also called spintronics, magnetoelectronics or magnetronics), wherein information is carried by electron spin in addition to, or in place of, electron charge. It is now well established in scientific and engineering communities that Moore's Law, having been an excellent predictor of integrated circuit density and computer performance since the 1970s, now faces great challenges ...

This is a fascinating look at the medium of the poster in the current climate of competing electronic communication. Angharad Lewis, from UK magazine Grafik, discusses the success and failure of the poster as a medium today, against rival mediums such as
"Livy darling, it was flattering, at the Lord Mayor's dinner, tonight, to have the nation's honored favorite, the Lord High Chancellor of England, in his vast wig & gown, with a splendid, sword-bearing lackey, following him & holding up his train, walk me arm-in-arm through the brilliant assemblage, & welcome me with all the enthusiasm of a girl, & tell me that when affairs of state oppress him & he can't sleep, he always has my books at hand & forgets his perplexities in reading them!" (10 November 1872) On his first trip to England to gather material for a book and cement relations with his newly authorized English publishers, Samuel Clemens was astounded to find himself hailed everywhere ...
With the advent of High Temperature Superconductivity and the increasing reliability of fabrication techniques, superconductor technology has moved firmly into the mainstream of academic and industrial research. There is currently no single source of practical information giving guidance on which technique to use for any particular category of superconductor. An increasing number of materials scientists and electrical engineers require easy access to practical information, sensible advice and guidance on 'best-practice' and reliable, proven fabrication and characterisation techniques.The Handbook will be the definitive collection of material describing techniques for the fabrication and anal...
This is the first of three volumes of the extensively revised and updated second edition of the Handbook of Superconductivity. The past twenty years have seen rapid progress in superconducting materials, which exhibit one of the most remarkable physical states of matter ever to be discovered. Superconductivity brings quantum mechanics to the scale of the everyday world where a single, coherent quantum state may extend over a distance of metres, or even kilometres, depending on the size of a coil or length of superconducting wire. Viable applications of superconductors rely fundamentally on an understanding of this intriguing phenomena and the availability of a range of materials with bespoke...
Biomedical nanotechnology is one of the fastest-growing fields of research across the globe. However, even the most promising technologies may never realize their full potential if public and political opinions are galvanized against them, a situation clearly evident in such controversial fields as cloning and stem cell research. Biomedical Nanotec
Shana si sveglia una mattina e scopre la sua sorellina in preda a una strana malattia. Sembra essere sonnambulismo. Non può parlare, non può essere svegliata. E si sta dirigendo con inesorabile determinazione verso una destinazione che solo lei conosce. Ma Shana e sua sorella presto vengono raggiunte da una moltitudine di sonnambuli provenienti da tutta l’America. E come Shana, altri “pastori” seguono il gregge per proteggere i loro amici e familiari sul lungo percorso sconosciuto che li attende. Durante il loro viaggio scopriranno un’America sconvolta dal terrore e dalla violenza, ma l’epidemia apocalittica si rivela meno pericolosa della paura che attanaglia chiunque. Il destino dei vagabondi dipende dunque dallo svelare il mistero del contagio. Il terrificante segreto farà definitivamente a pezzi la nazione o riunirà i sopravvissuti per ricostruire il mondo in frantumi? Con I vagabondi, Chuck Wendig ci mostra la pericolosità di alcuni demoni del nostro tempo, dando vita a una storia ambiziosa, audace e degna di attenzione.
