TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that if the surface is flat and smooth, the nature of the reflection is called specular, i.e., mirror-like, and obeys the simple law that the angle of incidence equals the angles of reflection.
Abstract: Reflection of light is a surface phenomenon—it is strongly dependent on the nature of the surface and can therefore be used to study surfaces. If the surface is flat and smooth, the nature of the reflection is called specular, i.e., mirrorlike, and obeys the simple law that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.

TL;DR: In this age of modern era, the use of internet must be maximized, as one of the benefits is to get the theory of the electric and magnetic properties of molecules book, as the world window, as many people suggest.
Abstract: In this age of modern era, the use of internet must be maximized. Yeah, internet will help us very much not only for important thing but also for daily activities. Many people now, from any level can use internet. The sources of internet connection can also be enjoyed in many places. As one of the benefits is to get the on-line the theory of the electric and magnetic properties of molecules book, as the world window, as many people suggest.
TL;DR: One of the primary aims of materials science and engineering is to relate the macroscopic properties of solids to their structure, which includes both the electronic and the atomic structure as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The challenge of information explosion has been reflected in a number of recent articles in PHYSICS TODAY and in similar discussions in magazines of other fields and other countries as discussed by the authors, and there can hardly be a physicist who has not been jolted by the challenge of the information explosion.
Abstract: BY NOW THERE can hardly be a physicist who has not been jolted by the challenge of the information explosion. Some men have been so overcome that they have given up subscribing to The Physical Review for lack of shelf space. The widespread concern about this challenge has been reflected in a number of recent articles in PHYSICS TODAY and in similar discussions in magazines of other fields and other countries. Among the great bulk of physicists diverse attitudes prevail: Some remain happy in a speciality narrow enough so that they can feel “in the swim” if they keep in touch with a few colleagues and read a highly specialized journal; others rationalize with the comment that most of the literature is garbage anyway; a few pin their hopes on the vast improvements being made by their documentalist colleagues in the science of indexing and retrieval.
TL;DR: The recent torsional oscillator results of Kim and Chan seem to suggest a super-solid phase transition in solid 4He, at 200 mK, confined in Vycor as mentioned in this paper.
