Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, prix Nobel de physique 1997, retrace son itinéraire personnel et scientifique et un demi-siècle d'évolution de la physique quantique. Sur ce sujet nul n'est mieux placé que lui, qui en a extrait les applications les plus caractéristiques et les plus étonnantes à la fois: la domestication –; et en particulier le refroidissement –; des atomes à l'aide de la lumière. La genèse de ces résultats révolutionnaires –; dont les applications commencent seulement à poindre aujourd'hui –; constitue un témoignage unique sur le développement de la physique et des techniques du XXè siècle.

Atoms and Ashes recounts the dramatic history of nuclear accidents that have dogged the industry in its military and civil incarnations since the 1950s. Through the stories of six terrifying major incidents—Bikini Atoll, Kyshtym, Windscale, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima—Cold War expert Serhii Plokhy explores the risks of nuclear power, both for military and peaceful purposes, while offering a vivid account of how individuals and governments make decisions under extraordinary circumstances.

For readers of Bill Bryson, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Siddhartha Mukherjee, a wondrous, wildly ambitious, and vastly entertaining work of popular science that tells the awe-inspiring story of the elements that make up the human body, and how these building blocks of life travelled billions of...

Seven lectures given by Alice Bailey are brought together in this book of seven chapters. The scientific relation of matter and consciousness is discussed as evolution progressively affects the atomic substance of all forms, subjective and objective.

Thinkers everywhere are conscious of two things, first, that the region of mystery has never before been so clearly defined, and secondly, that that region can be entered more easily than has hitherto been the case; it may, therefore, perhaps be induced to render up some of its secrets if investigators of all schools pursue their search with determination.

What began as a scientific breakthrough ended as a blueprint for annihilation. In The Atom Unleashed, James Johnson unpacks the explosive history of nuclear discovery—from Einstein’s quiet equations to Chernobyl’s glowing ruins. This is not just the story of a bomb, but the story of how we turned theoretical physics into geopolitical theology, and how one equation rewrote the rules of power, fear, and what it means to be human. With precision and relentless clarity, JJ turns the nuclear story into a mirror—one that forces us to ask not just what we’ve done, but who we became while doing it.

In a fascinating journey that begins with a golden ring examined under a microscope, a chemist uncovers a vibrant sub-atomic world. There, he encounters a stunning young girl who captivates his imagination. With the help of newfound chemicals that grant the ability to shrink or grow, he and three adventurous friends embark on an extraordinary quest into this miniature realm. (Summary by Richard Kilmer)

Nuclear Russia probes the juncture of history of science and technology, political and cultural history, and environmental history. It considers the atom in Russian society as a reflection of Leninist technological utopianism, Cold War imperatives, scientific hubris, public acceptance, and a state desire to conquer nature. Furthermore the audiobook examines the vital – and perhaps unexpected – significance of ethnicity and gender in nuclear history by looking at how Kazakhs and Nenets lost their homelands and their health in Russia in the wake of nuclear testing.

All About Atoms takes you on a journey through the fundamental building blocks of matter. In this series, we explore the structure of atoms, the roles of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and how they come together to form everything around us. From the discovery of atoms to the intricacies of atomic interactions, this series simplifies complex concepts and provides fascinating insights into the microscopic world. Tune in to better understand the atomic structures that shape our universe.

This podcast discusses the history of scientific thought and tells stories about the greatest scientific discoveries and the scientists who made them. There may also be an inordinate amount of Xennial-related references thrown in along the way. Episodes will be released every two weeks on Fridays! Thanks for listening.

What exactly constitutes an atom? How and why did the universe come into existence and how will it end? What subatomic particles go to make up the Standard Model? This essay serves as an entry point to nuclear physics and contains many useful references to other work on this and related topics. The essay also deals with other fascinating stuff.

Sharing the Atom, a special podcast from the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration and Argonne National Laboratory, takes you on a journey from the discovery of nuclear fission to the development of global commitments and systems to also use that discovery for good. Sharing the Atom tells the story of how world leaders came together to develop a political and legal framework that enables the pursuit of nuclear technologies for peaceful use and how that framework is needed more than ever today. At the center of this story is an international treaty: The Nuclear ...
