  • Redirecting Science: Niels Bohr, Philanthropy, and the Rise of Nuclear Physics

    by Finn Aaserud ...
    How and why do complex scientific disciplines such as physics change emphasis from one sub-discipline to another? Do such transitions stem entirely from developments within the discipline itself or also from external factors?This book addresses these questions by examining the transition from atomic to nuclear physics, theoretically and experimentally, at Niels Bohr’s Institute for Theoretical ...

  • Love, Literature and the Quantum Atom

    Niels Bohr's 1913 Trilogy Revisited

    by Finn Aaserud, John L. Heilbron ...
    Niels Bohr ranks with Einstein among the physicists of the 20th century. He rose to this status through his invention of the quantum theory of the atom and his leadership in its defense and development. He also ranks with Einstein in his humanism and his sense of responsibility to his science and the society that enabled him to create it. Our book presents unpublished excerpts from extensive ...

  • Controversy and Consensus: Nuclear Beta Decay 1911–1934

    by Carsten Jensen ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    To all four of us, Carsten was the best possible friend and colleague. To Finn, he was a fellow student in the history of science for several years at the Niels Bohr Institute; to Relge, he was a welcome resource for personal and intellectual interac tion in an otherwise less than fertile environment for the history of science; Roger was Carsten's friend and advisor, not least in the development ...

  • From Gravity to Thermal Gauge Theories: The AdS/CFT Correspondence

    Edited by Eleftherios Papantonopoulos ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The AdS/CFT correspondence is a powerful tool in studying strongly coupled phenomena in gauge field theories, using results from a weakly coupled gravity background studied in the realm of string theory. AdS/CFT was first successfully applied to the study of phenomena such as the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy ions collisions. Soon it was realized that its applicability can be extended, in a ... Read more
