Ondas: Una breve introducción

In previous volumes in this series, Advances in Metal and Semiconductor Clusters, the focus has been on atomic clusters of metals, semiconductors and carbon. Fundamental gas phase studies have been surveyed, and most recently scientists have explored new materials which can be produced from clusters or cluster precursors. In this latest volume, the focus shifts to clusters composed primarily of non-metal molecules or atoms which have one or more metal atoms seeded into the cluster as an impurity. These clusters provide model systems for metal ion solvation processes and metal-ligand...

Un ensayo sobre los problemas de la ciencia en la sociedad actual. «Estudiar ciencias ya no seduce.» Este reciente titular de prensa es el eje de este penetrante ensayo dedicado al declive de la ciencia y la cultura científica en la sociedad occidental. Pese al importante papel que desempeñan la ciencia y la tecnología en el mundo que nos rodea, su prestigio se desvanece en todos los países occidentales, no sólo en el nuestro. Observador de la situación desde su doble condición de científico y periodista, Carlos Elías advierte que la principal causa de esta decadencia reside en la...

This book provides a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to one of the most exciting frontiers in astrophysics today: the quest to understand how the oldest and most distant galaxies in our universe first formed. Until now, most research on this question has been theoretical, but the next few years will bring about a new generation of large telescopes that promise to supply a flood of data about the infant universe during its first billion years after the big bang. This book bridges the gap between theory and observation. It is an invaluable reference for students and researchers on...
