A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Rui F. M. Lobo is a professor of physics and physics engineering at the NOVA School of Science and Technology, NOVA University of Lisbon. He received his PhD in physics from the NOVA University of Lisbon and obtained a Habilitation in Nano-Engineering at this University. He also holds a degree in Chemical Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico- University of Lisbon. He is among the pioneers working with single polyatomic molecule experiments in binary neutral collisions and is presently leading research in experimental nanophysics and nanotechnology for clean energy, hydrogen technology, and decarbonization. He has authored several scientific refereed publications in journals, books, book chapters, and conference proceedings. He has been a senior member of the Engineers National Order and has belonged to international scientific committees in molecular beams and nanometer-scale technology. He was a Fellow Researcher at several renowned institutions including Max Planck Institute, Hahn Meitner Institute, Rice University, Osaka University, Ohio University, among others.

Mario J. Pinheiro is a professor of physics at the Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. He received his PhD in physics and obtained the Habilitation in Physics from the Technical Institute of Lisbon and got his Diplome d'Études Approfondies in Plasma Physics at the University of Orsay Paris-XI. Mario main interests are in the fundamentals of mechanics and the electromagnetic field, developing advanced propulsion systems for the next generation of spacecraft, and public awareness for the role of science in our societies. He was an invited researcher at the University of Knoxville-USA, working on plasma thrusters for drones, co-founder of the physics conferences for the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, and author of more than 100 papers, several books in advanced propulsion concepts for spaceflight, and developed a new theory of dynamics and electrodynamics, named ergontropic dynamics.
