The future of knowledge management systems


In every realm of physical science, surface properties dictate much of the interaction between an object and its environment. This is true for optics as well. Although the bulk properties of glasses certainly influence an optic’s interaction with light, the shape and smoothness of the surface are the primary determinants of the way a lens or mirror modifies the propagation of light. In addition to surface shape and quality, the coatings on an optical surface strongly affect an optic’s interaction with light. Specifically, coatings significantly modify the behavior of light at different wavelengths. Nearly every modern optical system depends on effective optical coatings.

Hot Topics in Science Engineering and Technology Available end of november


This webcast will focus on some hot topics in science engineering and technology. Indexed Content Specialist, Dr Christopher Marker, will discuss Inspec, the indexing database of scientific and technical literature, published by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), and the depth of its extensive coverage within physics, computing and engineering.

Dr Marker will begin with the Rosetta mission to land on and study the 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko comet. Given recent solar flare events, he will comment on space weather and its possible effects on the Earth, before moving on to the interrelated technologies of big data, semantic web, ubiquitous computing and data visualisation. Finally, he will look at some great physics ‘mistakes’, and ask if any result in physics really a mistake?
