Remarkably Thorough Experimental And Theoretical History And Analysis. Definitive For The Advanced Student And The Expert. Per Wikipedia Chien-Shiung Wu Chinese: ; Pinyin: Wú Jiànxióng; Wade-Giles: Wu2 Chien4-Hsiung2; 1912 - 1997 Was A Chinese-American Particle And Experimental Physicist Who Made Significant Contributions In The Fields Of Nuclear And Particle Physics. Wu Worked On The Manhattan Project Where She Helped Develop The Process For Separating Uranium Into Uranium-235 And Uranium-238 Isotopes By Gaseous Diffusion. She Is Best Known For Conducting The Wu Experiment Which Proved That Parity Is Not Conserved. This Discovery Resulted In Her Colleagues Tsung-Dao Lee And Chen-Ning Yang Winning The 1957 Nobel Prize In Physics While Wu Herself Was Awarded The Inaugural Wolf Prize In Physics In 1978. Her Expertise In Experimental Physics Evoked Comparisons To Marie Curie. Her Nicknames Include The "First Lady Of Physics" The "Chinese Madame Curie" And The "Queen Of Nuclear Research". After Work On The Manhattan Project During Wwii Wu Accepted An Offer Of A Position As An Associate Research Professor At Columbia. She Would Remain At Columbia For The Rest Of Her Career And Was First Named Associate Professor In 1952 Which Made Her The First Woman To Become A Tenured Physics Professor In University History. In November 1949 Wu Experimented With The Conclusions Of Einstein's Epr Thought Experiment Which Called Quantum Entanglement "Spooky Action At A Distance". Wu Was The First To Establish The Phenomenon And Validity Of Entanglement Using Photons Through Observing Angular Correlation As Her Result Confirmed Maurice Pryce And John Clive Ward's Calculations On The Correlation Of The Quantum Polarizations Of Two Photons Propagating In Opposite Directions. Specifically The Experiment Carried Out By Wu Was The First Important Confirmation Of Quantum Results Relevant To A Pair Of Entangled Photons As Applicable To The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Epr Paradox. Her 1950 Letter To Physical Review Famously Identified Confirmation Of Wheeler's Ideas On Entanglement. Tsung-Dao Lee And Another Chinese Theoretical Physicist Chen Ning Yang Grew To Question A Hypothetical Law Of Elementary Particle Physics The "Law Of Conservation Of Parity". Lee And Yang Worked Out A Pencil-And-Paper Design Of An Experiment For Testing Conservation Of Parity In The Laboratory. Because Of Her Expertise In Choosing And Then Working Out The Hardware Manufacture Set-Up And Laboratory Procedures Wu Then Informed Lee That She Could Carry Out The Experiment. Wu Chose To Do This By Taking A Sample Of Radioactive Cobalt-60 And Cooling It To Cryogenic Temperatures With Liquid Gases. Cobalt-60 Is An Isotope That Decays By Beta Particle Emission And Wu Was Also An Expert On Beta Decay. The Discovery Of Parity Violation Was A Major Contribution To Particle Physics And The Development Of The Standard Model. The Discovery Actually Set The Stage For The Development Of The Model As The Model Relied On The Idea Of Symmetry Of Particles And Forces And How Particles Can Sometimes Break That Symmetry.The Wide Coverage Of Her Discovery Prompted The Discoverer Of Fission Otto Frisch To Mention That Those At Princeton Would Often Say That Her Experiment Was The Most Impactful Since The Michelson-Morley Experiment That Inspired Einstein's Theory Of Relativity. In December 1962 Wu Experimentally Demonstrated A Universal Form And More Accurate Version Of Fermi's Old Beta Decay Model Confirming The Conserved Vector Current Cvc Hypothesis Of Richard Feynman And Murray Gell-Mann On The Road To The Standard Model.

1897ref. 4401Leipzig: J A Barth 1897-1907. First Edition. Original three-quarter leather and marbled boards. . A very good copy. 4to. There is a frontis. of Helmholtz and numerous text illus. . The complete lectures on physical science by the famous scientist that was commenced shortly after his death. It contains important addtions to key lectures. The volumes were published out of sequence causing later volumes in the set to be issued prior to the first. The first division or 50 pp. introduction to the entire set was published in 1903 and is bound in a leather that appears slightly darker than the rest of the set and has a different ownership signature than the balance of the set though all volumes are uniform in what is a publisher's three quarter leather binding. Barth continued to issue the volumes through 1925 varying the impression dates as issued. An x-library set was sold at Christie's in 1996 but it was made up from later prtgs. See DSB; see NUC for a handful of holdings. J A Barth hardcover books

"Prima edizione" di questo importante trattato sull’elettricità nel quale l’autore approfondisce ed amplia la teoria di Franklin sull’elettricità dei fluidi. Quest’opera riprende il precedente testo del Beccaria, "Elettricismo artificiale e naturale" (stampato la prima volta nel 1753). “Giovanni Battista Beccaria (1716-81) fu definito dall'inglese J. Priestley nella sua monumentale 'History and present state of electricity' (1767) il "grande genio italiano che aveva di gran lunga superato tutto quello fatto dagli elettricisti francesi e inglesi". Lo stesso Franklin stimò opportuno far tradurre in inglese, a Londra, nel 1774 l'"Elettricismo artificiale"". Cosi' Dizion. Biografico degli Italiani,VII, p. 470.

1815In-8°, VIII, pp. 224,1 tavola ripiegata fuori testo. Rilegatura in mezza pelle con nervi e titolo al dorso. Prima edizione non comune, stampata a Clermont-Ferrand, di questa curiosa confutazione delle tesi di Newton composta da un pensatore dell'Alvernia di cui non sappiamo quasi nulla. È la prima opera dell'autore, alla quale dobbiamo anche in particolare una confutazione del saggio materialista "Della mente" di Helvetius e un “Trattato sulle molecole grezze”. In-8 °, VIII, pp. 224,1 folded leaf out of text. Half leather binding with bands and title on the spine. Uncommon first edition, printed in Clermont-Ferrand, of this curious refutation of Newton's theses composed by a thinker of Auvergne of whom we know almost nothing. It is the author's first work, to whom we also owe in particular a refutation of the materialistic essay "Of the mind" by Helvetius and a "Treatise on raw molecules".
