  • Life's Ratchet

    How Molecular Machines Extract Order from Chaos

    by Peter M Hoffmann ...
    Life is an enduring mystery. Yet, science tells us that living beings are merely sophisticated structures of lifeless molecules. If this view is correct, where do the seemingly purposeful motions of cells and organisms originate? In Life's Ratchet, physicist Peter M. Hoffmann locates the answer to this age-old question at the nanoscale.Below the calm, ordered exterior of a living organism lies ... Read more

  • Quantum Physics: A First Encounter : Interference, Entanglement, and Reality

    Interference, Entanglement, and Reality

    by Valerio Scarani ; Rachael Thew ...
    Quantum physics is often perceived as a weird and abstract theory, which physicists must use in order to make correct predictions. But many recent experiments have shown that the weirdness of the theory simply mirrors the weirdness of phenomena: it is Nature itself, and not only our description of it, that behaves in an astonishing way. This book selects those, among these typical quantum ... Read more
