Of Molecules and Men

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Crick, Francis, PUBLISHER: Prometheus Books, There is probably no one who has a deeper understanding of life's biochemical basis than Sir Francis Crick. In , he won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, along with J. D. Watson and M. H. F. Wilkins, for breakthrough studies on the molecular structure of DNA. Just four years later he published this collection of popular lectures in which he explained the importance of this discovery in layperson's terms and emphasized its wide-reaching implications. Though written forty years ago, this succinct, lucid explication of the scientific facts remains the perfect primer for the lay reader curious about the ongoing biological revolution. Crick begins with a critique of "vitalism," the notion that an intangible life force beyond the grasp of biology distinguishes living organisms from inanimate things. Although few speak of vitalism today, the controversy that Crick addresses is still with us in the form of intelligent design, which suggests that biochemistry and evolution alone do not sufficiently explain the uniqueness of life. In his second lecture Crick explores the borderline between the organic and inorganic, presenting an elegantly clear description of DNA's basic structure and function in relation to RNA and myriad enzymes. In the final lecture, "The Prospect Before Us," he anticipates events and trends that have in fact come to pass in the past four decades: the increasing use of computer technology and robotics in mind-brain research, explorations into right-side vs. leftside uses of the brain, controversies surrounding the existence of the soul, the dead end of ESP investigations, and above all the daunting challenges of explaining consciousness in completely scientific terms. "OfMolecules and Men is a fascinating, still-very-relevant discussion of many crucially important issues in life science.

Optoelectronics of Molecules and Polymers

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moliton, Andre, PUBLISHER: Springer, Optoelectronic devices are currently being developed at an extraordinary rate. Organic light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic devices and electro-optical modulators are pivotal to the future of displays, photosensors and solar cells, and communication technologies. This book details the theories underlying the mechanisms involved in the relevant organic materials and covers, at a basic level, how the organic components are made. The first part of the book introduces the fundamental theories used to describe ordered solids and goes onto detail on concepts applicable to localised energy levels. Then the methods used to determine energy levels particular to perfectly ordered molecular and macromolecular systems are discussed along with a detailed consideration of the effects of quasi-particles. The function of excitons and their transfer between two molecules is studied and, in addition, the problems associated with interfaces and charge injection into resistive media are presented. More technological aspects are covered in the second part, which details the actual methods used to fabricate devices based on organic materials, such as dry etching. The principal characterisation techniques are also highlighted. Specific attention is paid to visual displays using organic light-emitting diodes; the conversion of photons into electrical energy (the photovoltaic effect); and for communications and information technologies, the electro-optical modulation of signals.

Design and Synthesis of Organic Molecules Based on Molecular

A topic for a Solvay Conference should be general enough to conform with the great tradition of previous conferences. On the other hand it should not be so broad that it can not be covered during the limited time of the conference. After discussion of several such topics,"Design and Synthesis of Organic Molecules Based on Molecular Recognition" was chosen. According to Albert Einstein we live in an era of perfect methods and confused aims. For example in organic chemistry the known synthetic meth

Mesomolecules: From Molecules to Materials

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mendenhall / Mendenhall, D. / Liebman, Joel F., PUBLISHER: Springer, This book provides readers with examples of the synthesis and applications of large molecules and molecular assemblies designed for their unusual shapes or forms, or for some analytical or synthetic purpose. The chapters address the differing concepts of molecules and materials. Numerous references to original literature and to reviews are included. The topic of synthetic dendrimers is presented along with a novel descriptive system (fractal notation), with which complicated but regularly-shaped molecules may be described in a highly condensed fashion.
