Synopsis
Extreme states of matter include exceptionally high and low temperatures, incredibly high pressures, intense magnetic fields, and intense gravitational fields. Because scientists are curious individuals, they often like to speculate about nature under conditions well beyond the conditions encountered and measured in their laboratories here on Earth. Extreme States of Matter takes the reader on an incredible journey across the most exciting scientific frontiers of the 21st century. Supported by a generous quantity of full-color illustrations and many interesting sidebars, this new volume describes the unusual and almost bizarre characteristics and properties of matter at extreme states. A large portion of the book is devoted to plasmas, which permeate the solar system as well as interstellar and intergalactic environments. Chapters include: Beyond Common States of Matter Very Hot Matter Very Cold Matter Degenerate Matter Black Holes-Extremely Isolated Matter Dark Matter Antimatter Matter and Relativity Exploring the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) Other Frontiers of Matter Science., Takes the reader on an incredible journey across the most exciting scientific frontiers of the 21st century. Supported by a generous quantity of full-colour illustrations and many interesting sidebars, this new volume describes the unusual and almost bizarre characteristics and properties of matter at extreme states., States of Matter is a six-volume set that covers many significant aspects of physical science, including atoms, the structure and properties of matter, the nature of nuclear and chemical reactions, the behavior of matter in motion, and how energy and matter interact within the universe. Designed to complement science curricula, the books present the key concepts, terms, and technologies used by scientists and engineers in dealing with matter in its more common states here on Earth (namely gaseous, liquid, solid) and matter in its more extreme states, such as plasma and Bose-Einstein condensates. Although solids, liquids, and gases may be the three most common states in which matter can be found on Earth, there are numerous other states of matter in existence throughout the observable universe. Extreme States of Matter discusses many of these states, including plasma, which humans have learned to artificially produce for use in television sets, and black holes, dark matter, and dark energy, which remain baffling to even the most skilled scientists. The book discusses the big bang and how it shaped the universe and also provides a history of humans' understanding of matter, which has grown exponentially since the observations of the ancient Greeks. The volume also includes information on antimatter Bose-Einstein condensate characteristics of stars nanotechnology Newton, Sir Isaac radioactivity thinking matter wormholes The book contains 80 color photographs and four-color line illustrations, sidebars, the Periodic Table, a chronology, a glossary, a detailed list of print and Internet resources, and an index. States of Matter is essential for high school students, teachers, and general readers who wish to learn about the discovery and use of matter and all its intriguing properties. Book jacket.
