The magick of matter : crystals, chaos and the wizardry of physics /
Flicker, Felix
The magick of matter : crystals, chaos and the wizardry of physics / Felix Flicker - London : Profile Books, 2022 - 328 p.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Condensed matter physics is what happens when atoms cluster together to make something of a size we can understand, something like a car, say, rather than a galaxy. It's what makes things hover in mid-air (magnetic levitation) or crystals glow (thermoluminescence). It's also what we mean by magick. Join Felix Flicker on an empirical adventure in condensed matter physics, the scientific mechanism behind the mysteries of alchemy, transmogrification, and much more. This is the one-stop guide on how to harness the enigmatic workings of the natural world to become a thoroughly modern wizard
