    Series series Elements in the Philosophy of Biology
    This Element introduces Aristotle's doctrine of hylomorphism, which provides an account of substances in terms of their 'matter' and 'form', adapting and applying it to the interface between physics and biology. It begins by indicating some reasons for the current revival of hylomorphism and by suggesting a way of classifying the confusing array of hylomorphisms that have arisen. It argues that, ...

  • Forces Of The Quantum Vacuum: An Introduction To Casimir Physics

    by Ulf Leonhardt, William M R Simpson ...
    Forces of the Quantum Vacuum presents a number of theoretical approaches to Casimir, van der Waals and Casimir-Polder forces that have been fruitfully employed in mainstream research, and also reviews the experimental evidence for Casimir forces. Beginning with basic ideas in quantum mechanics and building its way to a sophisticated form of macroscopic QED, the book provides an inspiring training ... Read more

  • Surprises in Theoretical Casimir Physics

    Quantum Forces in Inhomogeneous Media

    by William M.R. Simpson ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Despite more than half a century of theoretical work, the Casimir effect is still not as fully understood as some suppose. In this treatise, the author uncovers new puzzles and paradoxes concerning this mysterious phenomenon. In particular, he clearly demonstrates that the most sophisticated theories fail when confronted with dielectrics in which the refractive index is not uniform but gradually ... Read more
