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.

Brought to you by Penguin. What if climate change isn’t an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge? In this visionary book, Dr Tim Gregory urges us to rethink the path to net zero. He argues that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables...

Brought to you by Penguin. In 2011, a 43-foot-high tsunami crashed into a nuclear power plant in Fukushima, Japan. In the following days, explosions would rip buildings apart, three reactors would go into nuclear meltdown, and the surrounding area would be swamped in radioactive water. It is now...

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.
