In June of 1925, almost a hundred years ago, Werner Heisenberg spent ten days on the island of Heligoland - thanks to his hayfever. This respite afforded him the time to write an article that would mark the beginning of the history of modern quantum theory. Two years later, in October of 1927, the fifth Solvay Conference, arguably the most famous gathering in the history of physics, took place in Brussels, bringing the riveting story of the origins of quantum mechanics to a close. During this crucial and relatively short period between 1925 and 1927, eight physicists from five countries developed a theory that would radically change the physical understanding of our world and would become the basis for almost all advanced technologies: transistors, lasers, light-emitting diodes, medical imaging, the electron microscope and much more.The reader will travel through time from September 1924 to October 1927 and learn by way of monthly entries how quantum mechanics came into being, what the people involved experienced and thought in the context of the time they lived in, and how a unified whole slowly emerged from the interactions of these individuals.The book is aimed at laypeople who are fascinated by quantum mechanics and its history. They will learn that this theory, like Anita Berber, jazz or the invention of television, is a characteristic child of the 1920s.

This book follows the classical division of engineering mechanics as it is taught at technical colleges and universities and is dedicated to dynamics, i.e. the consideration of movements of bodies under forces.

The book provides a number of examples for this purpose. This book is aimed at students at technical colleges and universities of mechanical engineering, civil engineering, mechanics and all other degree programmes in which dynamics plays a role.

Natural products are a marvel of evolution. Plants are chemical factories and have produced a vast number of highly diverse and interesting natural substances with their extraordinary properties, which we humans have been using for centuries to relieve and cure diseases. At the latest since the discovery of penicillin, natural substances have become an important source of medicines, but we know only very few of the presumably many millions that are still waiting to be discovered. Important antibiotics, immunosuppressants, anticancer agents, hormones, and antiviral agents are among the natural products. But do natural products still matter in the age of biotechnology and genetic engineering? Yes, more than ever, because medicinal chemists draw creative inspiration for their syntheses from nature to develop the next blockbuster in medicine.Oliver Kayser tells the story of natural products and medicinal plants in this book in a highly informative and amusing way from a new perspective. He explores how natural products from naturopathy gave birth to the pharmaceutical industry, how they shaped our society as medicines and remedies, enabled wars, and paved the way to Nobel Prizes. The author paints a fascinating panorama of natural product chemistry in plants, microorganisms, and animals. Starting with the first isolations at the beginning of the industrial revolution, he leads us with the ideas and enthusiasm of many scientists into the modern era of drug testing, computer chemistry, and the highly successful serendipitous discoveries of active ingredients. Natural product research in the laboratory has an enormous impact on our lives today. The author offers a glimpse over the shoulder of how the search for the new drugs of tomorrow works today. This book is the ultimate book from the pen of a scientist deeply rooted in research, providing the reader with an enlightening and at the same time entertaining insight into how scientists think and how arduous research can be.

This book contains an introduction to the fundamental principles of the theory of stability of elastic bodies and structures. Beginning with very basic explanations of stability problems, this book starts with the treatment of systems of rigid beams, before beams under normal force and bending as well as the classical field of beam buckling are treated. For the case of beam buckling, an energetic consideration then follows, which forms the basis for a series of approximation methods. In addition to beam buckling, the stability cases of lateral-torsional buckling and lateral buckling are also of fundamental importance, to each of which a separate chapter is dedicated. This is followed by a discussion of plate buckling, and the book concludes with an introduction to shell buckling. This book is aimed at students at technical colleges and universities, as well as engineers in practice and researchers in the engineering sciences.

This textbook offers lecturers at universities, chemistry teachers at schools, student teachers and chemistry students a practical overview with many examples from current chemistry teaching, with novel experiments and models, with exercises on chemistry didactics and with school-relevant results of teaching and learning research. The authors not only cover the classic topics of chemistry didactics such as teaching objectives, experiments, models, and chemical terminology, but also devote extensive attention to student-related aspects such as student's misconceptions, chemistry in everyday life, media, and motivation.New in the last German edition are specific concepts on safety and disposal when handling hazardous substances, labeling of each proposed experiment with instructions for safe experimentation. In addition, the chapter on chemical terminology reflects new findings on student perceptions that are due to the so-called laboratory jargon used by lecturers and teachers: imprecise statements of chemical terminology that lead to erroneous perceptions among students due to the mixing of substance-level and particle-level terms. Many examples are used to suggest the correct and unambiguous formulation of such content.The authorsThe authors Prof. Dr. Annette Marohn and Prof. Dr. Simone Kröger have headed the Institute for Didactics of Chemistry at the University of Münster since 2013.
