Novedades del último mes en eBooks de Física

El planeta nos lanza una advertencia que no podemos ignorar: se está calentando de manera incesante y seguirá haciéndolo durante décadas e incluso siglos si no actuamos ya. Las señales son evidentes: olas de calor, inundaciones devastadoras, incendios y sequias, fenomenos extremos que ya afectan a nuestra vida cotidiana. Entonces surgen preguntas inevitables: ¿es reversible el cambio climatico? Si la Tierra ha experimentado otros cambios, ¿por que esta vez es distinto? ¿Como hemos llegado hasta aqui? ¿Existe consenso cientifico? Y, en caso afirmativo, ¿por que persisten los discursos negacionistas?El tictac climatico no es un libro mas sobre medioambiente, sino una llamada urgente a la reflexion. Mediante la metafora de un reloj climatico, Mar Gomez, doctora cum laude en Fisica y una de las divulgadoras cientificas mas influyentes de España, nos invita a emprender un viaje que comienza a medianoche y repasa los acontecimientos que han marcado el pasado climatico del planeta, incluidos los procesos naturales que hicieron posible la vida.A medida que avanza la narracion, los capitulos muestran las consecuencias visibles de la crisis actual: calor extremo, deshielo, incendios, sequia, perdida de biodiversidad, etc. Hasta llegar al amanecer, cuando suena la alarma: es el momento de reaccionar y buscar soluciones antes de que el reloj se quede sin tiempo.¿Es la geoingenieria una salida? ¿Podemos jugar a ser dioses o debemos optar por alternativas realistas y sostenibles? Avalado por expertos nacionales e internacionales, este libro combina ciencia rigurosa, una narrativa envolvente y un mensaje claro: aun estamos a tiempo de actuar.

Un enfoque fresco y divertido para entender cómo la física puede salvarnos del fin del mundo.¿Y si el fin del mundo no es una metáfora, sino un problema físico?¿Y si la solución no es solo política, sino cientifica?¿Y si entender como funciona el universo es nuestro mejor plan de supervivencia?La vida en la Tierra es, seamos sinceros, una rareza estadistica de proporciones galacticas. Habitamos una roca que flota en la nada, calentada por una bola de fuego a la que no podemos acercarnos y gobernada por leyes fisicas que no descansan ni en festivo. Y, aun asi, este absurdo cosmico es precisamente lo que podria ayudarnos a evitar nuestro propio fin del mundo.Porque antes de preocuparnos por lo que viene, necesitamos entender el escenario en el que todo ocurre: que fuerzas sostienen el universo y que sucede cuando las ignoramos.Esto no es un sermon ecologista ni una profecia apocaliptica. Es una invitacion a mirar nuestro planeta -este improbable oasis azul- con nuevos ojos. Y a entender que, si queremos tener un futuro, antes debemos comprender el tablero en el que jugamos.Leo Olivares, creador de la cuenta @ciencia_radiactiva, y Marc Mesa, experto en fisica, nos guian en un recorrido desde el Big Bang hasta el cambio climatico, explorando los limites mas incomodos de la energia y la materia a traves de paradojas cotidianas y las grandes crisis que definiran nuestro destino.La buena noticia: tenemos el conocimiento.La mejor noticia: aun estamos a tiempo.La fisica ya nos señala el camino. Solo falta que aprendamos a seguirlo.

¿Crees que existen las casualidades? ¿O hay un sentido profundo detrás de lo que sucede en tu vida? ¿La existencia se desenvuelve solamente a través de esta dimensión material? ¿O existen otras dimensiones, otros planos? ¿De verdad piensas que eres tu cuerpo, tu nombre y tu personalidad? ¿La vida termina con la muerte del cuerpo? ¿O quizas el cuerpo es solamente un medio, un vehiculo del Ser? Y en caso de que asi fuera? ¿Que es entonces el Ser? ¿Como descubrirlo? Autobiografia de un cuantico es un testimonio sobre los extraordinarios misterios de la cuantica cuando dejas de verla como una teoria cientifica mas y permites transformarte con ella aplicandola a las experiencias de tu vida. En la primera parte de la obra, de caracter autobiografico, Mark nos abre intimamente las puertas de su mundo interior, compartiendo luces y sombras, heridas y revelaciones, a traves de las distintas etapas y viajes de su vida, que le llevaron del escepticismo a la meditacion. En la segunda parte, se nos introduce de lleno al universo de la fisica cuantica, abriendo la posibilidad a una nueva manera de comprender nuestra relacion con la vida. Desde el abismal campo de energia que teje toda la existencia, hasta los campos morficos en los distintos niveles de la escala fractal del universo, pasando por el poder de la observacion del que dispone la conciencia para cocrear la realidad. Este libro es una invitacion a cuestionar nuestra mirada ante el misterio inabarcable de la existencia, descubriendo que mas alla de lo conocido, lo mejor sucede cuando menos te lo esperas.

NIKOLA TESLA (1856 ~ 1943) was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engi-neer, physicist, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.Tesla gained experience in telephony and electrical engineering before emigrating to the United States in 1884 to work for Thomas Edison in New York City. He soon struck out on his own with financial backers, setting up laboratories and companies to develop a range of electrical devices.His patented AC induction motor and transformer were licensed by George Westinghouse, who also hired Tesla for a short time as a consultant. His work in the formative years of electric power development was involved in a corporate alternating current/direct current "War of Currents" as well as various patent battles.

Before the 1970s, seeing the soft tissues inside a living human body without a scalpel or harmful ionizing radiation was considered scientifically impossible. The invention of the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanner shattered this boundary, utilizing the bizarre principles of quantum physics to peer through bone and flesh with unparalleled, non-invasive precision.The human body is mostly water, meaning it is packed with billions of hydrogen protons. The MRI machine uses a superconducting electromagnet, thousands of times stronger than the Earths magnetic field, to force these microscopic protons to align. When specific radio frequencies are pulsed into the body, the protons are knocked out of alignment; as they realign, they emit faint radio signals. Powerful computers instantly translate these faint quantum echoes into highly detailed anatomical maps.This technical breakdown explores the complex electromagnetism behind modern diagnostic miracles. You will investigate the extreme liquid helium cooling required for superconducting coils, the Fourier transform algorithms that construct the images, and the absolute engineering precision shielding the hospital environment.Uncover the invisible quantum mechanics saving lives every day. Learn how aligning atomic particles transformed medical diagnostics into a marvel of computational physics.

Gravity dictates that liquids must be held in a container. But what if a chemist needs to synthesize a hyper-pure, highly reactive compound that will instantly dissolve or become contaminated if it touches the walls of a glass beaker? The sci-fi solution utilized by modern material science is Acoustic Levitation.This textbook deconstructs the incredible physics of suspending matter with pure noise. By aiming two high-frequency ultrasonic speakers (transducers) directly at each other, physicists create a "standing wave." The soundwaves crash into each other and cancel out in specific, stationary locations, creating microscopic, invisible shelves of acoustic pressure.We explore the delicate fluid dynamics involved when a scientist places a drop of liquid exactly onto one of these pressure nodes. The sound is so intense that the liquid defies gravity, hovering perfectly in mid-air. This "containerless processing" allows researchers to mix volatile chemicals, study blood droplets, and forge flawless pharmaceuticals without any physical interference.Harness the physical weight of sound. A brilliant look into the ultrasonic technology that turns deafening noise into invisible, hovering laboratory equipment.

Intuition suggests that a perfectly smooth sphere will travel through the air faster and further than a rough, bumpy one. In the strict laws of fluid dynamics, however, intuition is completely wrong. If you hit a perfectly smooth golf ball, it will drop out of the sky after 100 yards, suffocated by its own aerodynamic drag.This fascinating exploration breaks down the physics of the golf ball dimple. When a smooth ball flies, the air separates from the surface very early, leaving a massive, low-pressure "drag wake" behind the ball that violently pulls it backward. The dimples solve this by intentionally creating a thin layer of chaotic, turbulent air right at the surface (the boundary layer). This turbulence forces the air to stick to the ball much longer, drastically shrinking the drag wake and allowing the ball to slice through the atmosphere and fly twice as far.We trace the history from smooth leather balls to the modern, hyper-engineered urethane spheres with exactly 336 mathematically arranged dimples designed to optimize the Magnus effect for backspin.Master the invisible friction of the sky. Understand how intentionally adding microscopic turbulence is the absolute key to athletic aerodynamic perfection.

Curling is often perceived as a slow, peculiar winter sport involving brooms and heavy stones. In reality, it is the most complex manipulation of friction and thermodynamics in all of athletics. A 40-pound solid granite stone cannot simply glide 150 feet across flat ice; it would grind to a halt within yards. The secret lies entirely in the specific tribology of the surface.This educational guide explores the physics of the "pebbled" ice. Before a match, technicians spray fine water droplets across the rink, which freeze into microscopic bumps. The heavy granite stone only rides on the very peaks of these bumps, drastically reducing the surface area and friction.We break down the critical mechanics of the sweepers. By aggressively scrubbing the ice directly in front of the moving stone, players generate intense kinetic heat, microscopically melting the pebble peaks into a thin layer of water lubrication. This instantly lowers the friction coefficient, altering the stones trajectory and allowing it to travel several feet further.Understand the physics of the ice. Discover how athletes manipulate microscopic thermodynamics and surface tension to steer heavy granite stones with surgical precision.

For centuries, humanity knew the Earth rotated, but this was only observable by tracking the stars. There was no physical, mechanical proof on the ground—until the French physicist Léon Foucault hung
