Sólo el asombro conoce

As computing power increases, a growing number of macroscopic phenomena are modeled at the molecular level. Consequently, new requirements are generated for the understanding of molecular dynamics in exotic conditions. This book illustrates the importance of detailed chemical dynamics and the role it plays in the phenomenology of a number of extreme environments. Each chapter addresses one or more extreme environments, outlines the associated chemical mechanisms of relevance, and then covers the leading edge science that elucidates the chemical coupling. The chapters exhibit a balance between ...

Biographies and bibliographies of members are included in many of the volumes. Lists of members are usually given on covers of the numbers.

Muchas personas, cada día más, se interesan por los temas concernientes al firmamento, a ese cielo estrellado que podemos ver en una noche oscura y a los fenómenos que en él ocurren.
