  • The Quantum World

    The disturbing theory at the heart of reality

    by New Scientist ...
    Series series New Scientist Instant Expert
    Forget everything you thought you knew about reality.The world is a seriously bizarre place. Things can exist in two places at once and travel backwards and forwards in time. Waves and particles are one and the same, and objects change their behaviour according to whether they are being watched. This is not some alternative universe but the realm of the very small, where quantum mechanics rules. ... Read more

  • Theory of the Nuclear Magnetic 1/T1 Relaxation Rate in Conventional and Unconventional Magnets

    by Andrew Smerald ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    One of the best ways to "lift the lid" on what is happening inside a given material is to study it using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Of particular interest are NMR 1/T1 relaxation rates, which measure how fast energy stored in magnetic nuclei is transferred to surrounding electrons.This thesis develops a detailed, quantitative theory of NMR 1/T1 relaxation rates, and shows for the first time ...

  • Discovery of Single Top Quark Production

    by Dag Gillberg ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The top quark is by far the heaviest known fundamental particle with a mass nearing that of a gold atom. Because of this strikingly high mass, the top quark has several unique properties and might play an important role in electroweak symmetry breaking—the mechanism that gives all elementary particles mass. Creating top quarks requires access to very high energy collisions, and at present only the ... Read more
