"The authors analyse solutions offered by science and technology with a clarity that will likely surpass the expectations of non-expert readers. Following a pedagogical approach with vivid illustrations, the book offers an in-depth description of how each green-energy option could be integrated into a global-energy strategy ... They stress that any solution should not compromise quality of life or development opportunities in developing countries. This book could not be more timely. It is an invaluable resource for scientists, policymakers and educators."
"Overall, this collection of case studies provides an outstanding starting point for understanding the ethics of chemistry. It is an extremely important contribution to the study of chemical ethics … Ethics of Chemistry is a key resource for educators interested in integrating ethics instruction into their chemistry curricula … an important foundation for equipping students with the moral judgement and analytical skills necessary to contend with the ethical issues they are likely to face in their professional lives."
"This brief book offers an interesting, fun, and widely accessible first-person tour of CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. The facilities at CERN include the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 27-kilometer particle accelerator that straddles the border between Switzerland and France. The LHC was famously used to discover the Higgs boson, a long-sought fundamental particle. Physics historian Depambour (University of Paris) is enthusiastic about all aspects of CERN, especially its role as an agent for peace and international cooperation..."
Open Access Special Issue on Neurophotonics Guest Editors: Sergio Fantini, Ling Fu, and Sabrina Brigadoi This special issue, which includes seven research articles, aims to highlight recent advances in the development of neurophotonic techniques and their applications in biological discovery, disease diagnosis, and treatment. This special issue was also prepared to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics. |
Special Issue on Economics of Water Technology Diffusion and Policy Uncertainties Guest Editor: Zhanhong Wan This special issue weaves together a rich tapestry of cutting-edge research, shedding light on the intricate landscape of water resource management, economic development, and the critical policy implications that emerge from these studies. These papers, like threads in a complex fabric, converge to reveal overarching themes and fresh perspectives, providing vital guidance for policymakers grappling with the challenges that define the global landscape of water technology diffusion. |
Special Issue on “Reviews & Essays” Guest Editors: Nicola Bellomo and Franco Brezzi This editorial is dedicated to presenting the papers published in a special issue focused on modeling, qualitative analysis and simulation of the collective dynamics of systems in engineering and life sciences. All papers have a minor or major reference to living, i.e. complex systems, and a critical analysis of the overall content of the issue is proposed, leading to a forward look at research perspectives. |
