Advertisement
edited by Dževad Belkić(Karolinska Institute, Sweden), Igor Bray (Curtin University, Australia) & Alisher Kadyrov (Curtin University, Australia)
This book provides state-of-the art reviews of ion-atom and ionmolecule collisions at intermediate and high impact energies, from both experimental and theoretical points of view. Whenever possible, the authors connect the basic research in atomic and molecular collision physics to important applications in related fields, such as astrophysics, surface/cluster physics and hadron therapy. Readership: Graduate students, junior and senior researchers in: atomic/molecular/nuclear physics/astrophysics, plasma physics, particle transport physics and medical physics (radiotherapy).

From Photons to Atoms
The Electromagnetic Nature of Matter by Daniele Funaro (Universitàdi Modena e Reggio Emilia, Italy)
Motivated by a revision of the classical equations of electromagnetism that allow for the inclusion of solitary waves in the solution space, this book examines the consequences of adopting a modified model of atomic structures purely of electromagnetic nature. Atoms and molecules are described as aggregations of nuclei and electrons joined through organized photon layers resonating at various frequencies, explaining how matter can absorb or emit light quanta. This holistic view allows for a comprehensible and coherent explanation of many quantum phenomena, including the waveparticle dualism. Readership: Graduate students and researchers interested in exploring and learning about alternative approaches to existing problems in theoretical physics.

Physics on Ultracold Quantum Gases
BIOPHYSICS, BIOLOGICAL AND MEDICAL PHYSICS
by Yongjian Han (University of Science and Technology of China, China), Wei Yi (University of Science and Technology of China, China) & Wei Zhang (Renmin University of China, China)
This book originates from graduate courses on cold atomic gases taught at the Renmin University of China and at the University of Science and Technology of China. It provides a brief review on the history and current research frontiers in the field of ultracold atomic gases, as well as basic theoretical description of few- and many-body physics in the system. Starting from the basics such as atomic structure, atomlight interaction, laser cooling and trapping, the book moves on to the treatment of ultracold Fermi gases, before turning to topics in quantum simulation using cold atoms in optical lattices.
Readership: Researchers in the field of ultracold atomic gases. Suitable also for junior graduate students to prepare for further study in the field. World Scientific Lecture Notes in Complex Systems - Vol 13
Lectures on Cellular Biophysics
From Molecules to Tissues by Jaume Casademunt (University of Barcelona, Spain), Ricard Alert (Princeton University, USA)
This book is conceptualised from a successful course on cellular biophysics for graduate students at the University of Barcelona. It develops a physical approach to biological processes that aims at a quantitative understanding of fundamental mechanisms and organizational principles behind biological complexity. The focus is on the mechanical aspects at different scales, from molecular force generation to collective cell migration, all treated in a comprehensive and unified manner.
It is also self-contained and presents the basic concepts from physics and biology that may complement the different backgrounds of potential students. Whenever possible, the presentation is illustrated with simple quantitative models and the examples are solved explicitly. A collection of additional problems and exercises is also provided.
