A student-oriented introduction to understanding mechanisms at the atomistic level controlling macroscopic materials phenomena through molecular dynamics simulations.Machine-learning-based computation in materials innovation, performance optimization, and sustainability offers exciting opportunities at the mesoscale research frontier. Molecular Mechanisms in Materials presents research findings and insights about material behavior at the molecular level an...

This book is a treatment on the foundational knowledge of Nuclear Science and Engineering. It is an outgrowth of a first-year graduate-level course which the author has taught over the years in the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT. The emphasis of the book is on concepts in nuclear science and engineering in contrast to the traditional nuclear physics in a nuclear engineering curriculum. The essential difference lies in the importance we give to the understanding of nuc...

The urgency to address climate change and the diminishing sustainability of fossil fuels has propelled nuclear energy into the forefront of global energy solutions. This advanced textbook aims to provide nuclear science and engineering students with a holistic view and mechanistic understanding on the underlying nuclear physics processes. Based on the award-winning classes the authors have been teaching to first-year graduate students at MIT Nuclear Science and Engineering Department, this...
