Within this 1963 text, Professor Watson writes as a physicist seeking to understand how it is
that physics goes on at an ever increasing pace to reveal new structure in the world,
matching the achievements in chemistry, biology and applied science, but exposing us to …

Figure 1. The basics of recollision. In the first step, an intense pulse of coherent IR light
skews the potential well (black) of an atom or molecule's electron. That allows the
boundstate electron wavefunction (blue, sketched as a Gaussian) to tunnel and split …

Abstract “Geometry,” in the sense of the classical differential geometry of smooth manifolds
(CDG), is put under scrutiny from the point of view of Abstract Differential Geometry (ADG).
We explore potential physical implications of viewing things under the light of ADG …

Of all the sciences in the US, physics continues to have the lowest representation of women.
Currently, women earn just 21% of bachelor's degrees and 17% of PhDs in the field.
Discourse about women in physics often centers on representation, and the unspoken …

For noble metals, Q ranges between 10 and 100. The resonant enhancement of the local
optical-field intensity is proportional to a factor of Q2, between 102 and 104. Importantly for
many applications, that factor also indicates the enhancement of the absorption and …
