  • The Anatomy of Life & Energy in Agriculture

    by Arden B. Andersen ...
    The energies in fertilizers and in the cosmos do not often move needles, but they preside over crop production. As this manual makes clear, through learning to tap and use "life-force energy" it is possible to develop food production practices that are both high quality and nondestructive. Dr. Arden B. Andersen begins his work with the premise that 'energy is everything'. Through this axiomatic ... Read more

  • Scanning SQUID Microscope for Studying Vortex Matter in Type-II Superconductors

    by Amit Finkler ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Common methods of local magnetic imaging display either a high spatial resolution and relatively poor field sensitivity (MFM, Lorentz microscopy), or a relatively high field sensitivity but limited spatial resolution (scanning SQUID microscopy). Since the magnetic field of a nanoparticle or nanostructure decays rapidly with distance from the structure, the achievable spatial resolution is ... Read more
