Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology could be the key to future scientific and engineering breakthroughs, space travel and kickstarting a new industrial revolution. But what exactly is it?In this accessible and concise primer, Rahul Rao takes the reader on a journey to the hidden world of the nano realm. This world is invisible to the human eye, but without it, life as we know it simply wouldn't exist. Nanotechnology is the craft of editing, manipulating and shaping this parallel world in ways that can have profound impacts on a huge scale.Celebrating the power and potential of the small things, this book looks at a diverse range of examples of nanotechnology including super-strength carbon nanotubes, speciality nanoparticles and biological nanomachinery. It explains the science behind these breakthroughs and offers a tantalising glimpse at what may await us in the world of tomorrow.

Tijdreizen
Kriskras door de tijd met behulp van wetenschapTijdreizen klinkt misschien als sciencefiction, maar is volgens de wetenschap echt mogelijk. Albert Einstein toonde met zijn relativiteitstheorie namelijk aan dat naar de toekomst reizen sowieso kan – en naar het verleden reizen misschien ook. In Tijdreizen bespreekt wetenschapsschrijver Brian Clegg welke hordes we moeten nemen om dit kunstje in de praktijk te brengen. Kun je jezelf laten invriezen en in de toekomst wakker worden? Hoe bouw je een warpdrive die de ruimtetijd om zich heen kromt en je zo naar de toekomst brengt? Kun je een wormgat in duiken om terug in de tijd te gaan? En kun je dankzij de quantummechanica een boodschap naar het verleden sturen? Tot slot duikt Clegg in de paradoxale gevolgen van een universum waarin iedereen kriskras door de tijd beweegt.

Is The Universe Trying to Kill Me?
In Is the Universe Trying to Kill Me?, physicist and award-winning science writer Brian Clegg reveals how the mind-bending principles of quantum physics - like superposition, entanglement, and the multiverse - shed light on life's everyday mysteries. Discover if black holes are leaking, why the sun works (and why it shouldn't), whether the universe is actively out to get you and a whole world of other quantum conundrums you never thought to ask. Quantum physics isn't just abstract theory, it's present everywhere in the chaos of our daily lives, influencing how we love, decide, and think. Why do we keep chasing the people who don't want us? Could your future self actually be sending you a message? Is free will an illusion or a cosmic paradox? With clear explanations and real-world anecdotes along with diagrams and illustrations on every page, this book unpicks the strange, often counterintuitive laws of quantum physics and exposes the unexpected ways the universe shapes human experience. Is the Universe Trying to Kill Me? will challenge everything you thought you knew about yourself and the world around you. Prepare to discover a universe far stranger and far more entangled with your life than you ever imagined...

Forensic Science
Today, criminal investigation doesn't just rely on smoking guns and witnesses - police investigators also engage with the mysterious, invisible world of forensic evidence. But what exactly is the science behind this evidence and the methods used to procure and analyse it?In this accessible and entertaining book, Sanjukta Mondal lifts the petri dish lid on this murky world, revealing how scientific methods have become essential weapons in the arsenal of the modern police. With the help of references to TV show forensics, the book explores topics such as DNA profiling and toxicology and brings in notable successes - and blunders - from the real world. This is an enlightening read, whether you're a budding Sherlock Holmes or have simply always wondered just how exactly a misplaced fingerprint or lost hair can lead to a successful prosecution.
