  • Basics of Superconductivity

    An Introduction to Theoretical Physics

    by Steffen Sykora ...
    At very low temperatures, a metal passes into the superconducting state. This state is extremely fascinating, as the electrical resistance completely disappears. This property makes superconductivity very interesting for technology, since it is possible to transport electrical current without loss under certain conditions. This textbook provides an introduction to the basics of superconductivity, ... Read more

  • The Theory of the Relativity of Motion (Illustrated)

    by Richard C. Tolban ...
    The Theory of the Relativity of MotionIn the field of physical science, there was a widespread feeling that the days of adventurous discovery had passed forever, and the conservative physicist was only too happy to devote his life to the measurement to the sixth decimal place of quantities whose significance for physical theory was already an old story. The passage of time, however, has completely ... Read more

  • The Principle of Relativity ( Original Papers) by Albert Einstein and Hermann Minkowski

    by Einstein Albert, Minkowski Hermann ...
    This book is by no means a comprehensive study of Minkowski's and Einstein's space-time formalism of special relativity. The mathematician, Hermann Minkowski was Einstein's former mathematics professor at the Zürich Polytechnic. During his studies at the Polytechnic Einstein skipped Minkowski's classes. In 1904 Max Born arrived in the first time to Göttingen. Many years later Born wrote his ... Read more
