Novedades del último mes en eBooks de Física

El último episodio de la historia de la física cuántica que pone de relieve el enorme impacto de este avance en la historia reciente.El tercer y último tomo de la Historia de la física cuántica nos adentra en el periodo que va de la creacion de la fisica nuclear al descubrimiento del boson de Higgs. Arranca con el descubrimiento en 1932 del neutron y del positron, que dieron origen a la fisica nuclear, detallando la fascinante historia que esconde esta rama que estudia los nucleos atomicos. Algunos de los episodios destacados de este volumen son el nacimiento y desarrollo de la fisica de particulas elementales y de altas energias, o la controvertida construccion de la bomba atomica, el llamado Proyecto Manhattan y su enorme repercusion en la Guerra Fria. Asimismo, otros capitulos que tambien reflejan la gran implicacion que la fisica cuantica tuvo en la historia y sociedad de la epoca fueron la creacion de la electrodinamica cuantica y la invencion del transistor. En este capitulo conoceremos las secuelas de la creacion de los circuitos integrados y sus consecuencias socioeconomicas, algunas de ellas, de alto impacto en nuestra actualidad, como el establecimiento de Silicon Valley. Por ultimo, la historia de la formulacion del denominado Modelo estandar de la fisica de particulas, que predecia el boson de Higgs, concluye la historia de una de las ramas de la ciencia mas fecundas de la historia de la ciencia.

Un premio nobel y un astrofísico superventas unen sus fuerzas para descubrir cómo el universo insufló vida a la materia. Durante más de un siglo, los orígenes y la expansión de la vida en la Tierra han permanecido envueltos en un halo de misterio. En Vida y cosmos, Mario Livio y Jack Szostak nos muestran como nuevos descubrimientos y tecnologias estan generando un progreso cientifico inaudito para resolver estas cuestiones. A traves de la vision panoramica que ofrece la astrobiologia, un campo multidisciplinario y vanguardista que fusiona biologia, quimica, astronomia y otras ramas, los autores nos sumergen de una forma fluida y profunda en el conocimiento actual sobre el origen de la vida en la Tierra. Una exploracion decisiva sobre si la vida es un accidente fortuito o un imperativo quimico.

En una travesía interdisciplinaria tan osada como necesaria, Augusto Ángel Maya propende por la integralidad del saber, más allá de la específica competencia de los disímiles objetos de estudio de cada saber. Sin pretender abarcar la totalidad de los saberes, el autor retoma los pilares basicos tanto de las ciencias referidas a la naturaleza como de las ciencias sociales, para plasmar un horizonte coherente que permite un dialogo holistico entre los saberes, desde una perspectiva ambiental.

Cómo los humanos aprendimos a resolver problemas.Un pequeño puente entre la física y la realidad es una invitación a cuestionar lo que creemos saber sobre el universo. Con un lenguaje cercano y accesible, este libro recorre desde los origenes cosmicos hasta los misterios de la mecanica cuantica, mostrando como las matematicas y la fisica no solo explican el mundo, sino que tambien nos enseñan a pensar, crear y resolver problemas.A traves de ejemplos cotidianos, teorias cientificas y reflexiones profundas, construiremos un puente entre el conocimiento complejo y la vida real, manteniendo siempre la mente abierta, explorando lo desconocido y descubriendo el poder del pensamiento critico.

Un ensayo que indaga en cómo la mecánica cuántica resignificó el concepto de azar, desafiando el determinismo y revolucionando nuestra visión del universo.A comienzos del siglo XX, un grupo de físicos revoluciono nuestra comprension del universo al explorar los misterios de la materia a escalas diminutas. Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr y otros gigantes de la ciencia enfrentaron preguntas que seguian sin respuesta: ¿por que existen materiales magneticos?, ¿de donde proviene el color de la materia?, ¿como conducen electricidad los metales? Hace 100 años, en junio de 1925, estas las respuestas a estas preguntas comenzaron a tomar forma en la mente de un joven Werner Heisenberg. Asi nacio la mecanica cuantica, una teoria que no solo propuso un cambio drastico a las ideas que dominaron la ciencia hasta comienzos del siglo XX, ademas nos obligo a cambiar nuestra perspectiva sobre lo que la ciencia puede aspirar a comprender.En La tirania del azar, Andres Gomberoff y Jose Edelstein celebran los 100 años de la mecanica cuantica y examinan como este concepto transformo nuestra forma de entender el mundo. Lo que antes era visto como ignorancia se convirtio en un principio fundamental de las leyes de la naturaleza, desafiando la idea de un universo determinista. A traves de una narrativa accesible y rigurosa, este libro aborda las consecuencias de este descubrimiento tanto en la tecnologia como en el pensamiento contemporaneo, invitandonos a reflexionar sobre la verdadera naturaleza de la realidad.

Análisis de diez sistemas secuenciados que forman la estructura del mundo y proporcionan una visión única de su funcionamiento básico. Desde diagramas que muestran las relaciones entre el espacio y el tiempo hasta los comportamientos cuanticos que rigen la interaccion entre la materia y la luz. Con explicaciones sobre la radiacion de fondo de microondas, los diagramas sobre la naturaleza entrelazada del espacio y el tiempo, los patrones de las rutas que siguen las particulas, los patrones que predicen el comportamiento cuantico, la tabla periodica que refleja el patron subyacente en la configuracion de los atomos, un analisis de la recta numerica o los usos descriptivos de los diagramas de arbol, entre muchas otras cosas. Nuestro universo puede parecer caotico, pero en el fondo tan solo consta de una miriada de reglas que funcionan de forma independiente para crear los patrones de accion, de fuerza y de consecuencia. En este libro se exploran los fenomenos que forman la estructura misma de nuestro mundo mediante el examen de diez sistemas secuenciados fundamentales.
