Examines the physics of elastomeric substances such as rubber and synthetic elastics. Aims to show that, by looking at the statistics and energetics of long-chain molecules, it is possible to account for the...
Concerned with the use of modern semi-conductor devices to produce light for fibre-optic communication systems. Using computer animations, discusses some of the more important properties of light-emitting...
The origins of modern quantum mechanics date back to 1900 and Max Planck’s hypothesis that oscillators, which classically would be allowed to have any energy, are allowed to have only discrete energies....
The arrangement of atoms in a solid - ‘atomic architecture’ is one of the most fundamental properties of a solid. Considers the importance of x-ray diffraction patterns and Bragg’s Law with respect to...
It has been known since the early part of this century that substances like liquid helium, which can be cooled to very low temperatures (lower than 5 degrees Kelvin), exhibit bizarre behaviour. They appear...
Discusses interstellar matter, taking an historical approach to the discoveries of molecules in space. Radio telescopes and astronomic spectrometers are seen at work. Taking part in the programme are Dr...
Introduces the concept of radial distribution as a way of describing the ordering of the atoms or molecules in a liquid. Shows how the function can be determined in practice by X-ray scattering and neutron...
Examines the fourth state of matter called plasma and how very hot plasma at temperatures of 100 million degrees can be contained and controlled by magnetic fields.
Uses a science-fiction setting to illustrate the problem of distinguishing left from right. Discusses the violation of parity and the development of CP-invariance. Illustrates the Lee Yang theory of the...
