The metal–ligand coordination of metallomacrocycles allows for the production of both discrete and infinite metallosupramolecular structures with high-degrees of complexity. In recent years, coordination-driven self-assembly has emerged as a powerful noncovalent synthetic strategy to build discrete supramolecular architectures with diverse coordination moieties such as a well-defined shape, size, and geometry. The dynamic features of the metal–ligand bonds result in structures with intrigu...

Social Support and Health in the Digital Age discusses how theinformation age has revolutionized nearly every facet of human communication—from the ways in which people purchase products to how they meet and fall in love. These exciting new communication technologies can both unite and divide us. People who are separated by great distances can now communicate with each other in real time, whereas parents often find themselves competing with smartphones and tablets for their children’s atte...

Electrical charges pervade nature, including lightning in a thunderstorm and the signals within our own bodies. Electrical energy also powers many of the devices—refrigerators, televisions, and computers, to name a few—upon which modern life depends. This illuminating volume explores the various aspects of electricity, including electric fields, currents, and circuits, as well as the relationship of electricity and magnetism to the functioning of motors and generators.

Dr. Douglas Vandenberghe, a professional engineer, introduces several antigravity devices/machines and phenomena reported by inventors and researchers such as Nikola Tesla, T. Townsend Brown, J.L. Naudin, Viktor Schauberger, and John Hutchison. A modified version of T. Townsend Brown's Electrokinetic Apparatus (United States Patent No. 3 187 206) is experimentally investigated. The data and observations from these experiments form a basis for an antigravity field/force hypothesis that is e...
