Though the book “Quantum Nano-Plasmonics” concerns a random-phase approximation model of plasmons in metallic nanoparticles, it finds unexpected application to soft plasmonics in bio matter. A wave type plasmon-polariton mechanism of the so-called saltatory conduction in myelinated axons is proposed.

This book focuses on the shaping of the lifting surfaces to give an aircraft the desired performance. Skills in shaping for performance can be built by hands-on experience in real aerodynamic design projects and learning from the masters, their successes and mistakes. Such on-the-job education is very expensive. The book takes another tack to prepare […]

Four years ago, when I began to write From Crust to Core, A chronicle of deep carbon science, the astrophysicist in me looked forward to documenting the story of how Earth’s carbon originated long ago in stellar explosions. Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe. On Earth it is ranked only fifteenth […]

The first three editions of Measuring Behaviour were co-authored by Patrick Bateson, known as Pat to his family and friends, and his former graduate student Paul Martin. I had a very special relationship with Pat. Not only was he my father, but I have followed him into the same academic discipline, becoming the second Professor […]

Feedback dynamics is a topic that many engineers feel they should know. Feedback loops appear everywhere in engineering and science, and a command of feedback greatly increases one’s ability to design useful, robust machines. But it is also true that regardless of where you are in your engineering career, you have plenty of reason not […]

How is sound generated and transmitted in ducts? This question is studied in duct acoustics, a branch of acoustics. Why do we study duct acoustics? I hope that this post will complement my recent book Duct Acoustics for the answer. According to the archeological findings, history of duct acoustics is as old human history. We […]
