But physics does much more than describe how matter and energy behave. It reveals how almost everything around us and, even, within us works. In fact, physics-based technologies are integral to many of the work and leisure activities we carry out everyday without giving science a second thought.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Sharon Ann Holgate has a doctorate in experimental physics from the University of Sussex in the UK, where she was a Visiting Fellow in Physics and Astronomy, and is now a Chartered Scientist and Chartered Physicist. She has worked for twenty-one years as a freelance science writer and broadcaster.
