Sommario/riassunto

Le monde des matériaux présente une extraordinaire diversité d’architectures (cristaux, verres, mousses, gels) et de comportements physiques (métaux, isolants, semi-conducteurs, supraconducteurs). La physique de la matière condensée cherche à comprendre leurs propriétés. Nombre de technologies modernes (le transistor ou l’imagerie médicale par résonance magnétique nucléaire, par exemple) ont pour origine des découvertes fondamentales dans ce domaine. Antoine Georges nous convie ici à un voyage fascinant qui, partant des formes organisées que prend la matière à l’échelle macroscopique nous entraîne jusqu’à ses constituants intimes, à l’échelle de l’atome.  The world of materials hosts an extraordinarily diverse wealth of architectures (crystals, glass, foams and gels for examples) and types of physical behaviour (metals, insulating materials, semi-conductors or



superconductors). The aim of Condensed Matter Physics is to understand the properties of materials. The origins of modern technologies such as the transistor or nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, to name but two, can be found in pure research discoveries in this field. Here Antoine Georges invites us on a fascinating journey all the way from matter’s organised forms at the macroscopic scale to its tiniest imperceivable components at the atomic scale.

Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the lives of nuns in medieval German convents, focusing on their roles in love, politics, and religion. It highlights how these women held significant influence as 'brides of Christ' and played vital roles within their communities. The authors, Henrike Lähnemann and Eva Schlotheuber, delve into various aspects of convent life, including education, family dynamics, music, and the impact of the Reformation. The work draws from unique historical sources, such as a convent diary and a collection of letters, to provide insight into the nuns' experiences and their resistance to Lutheran reforms. Aimed at those interested in medieval history and women's roles in religious contexts, the book seeks to illuminate the overlooked contributions of these nuns.
