Search autocomplete helps find words quickly by displaying predictions as you type.Intelligent search integrates several tools to match or suggest what you are looking for: SEARCH TOOLS - effortlessly find words thanks to a clear, functional, and easy-to-use interface. NEW! With the addition of a convenient Home page, a sleeker and more intuitive visual layout, as well as innovations in the speed of searches you can delve right in faster and easier than ever!Īlso includes advanced search and language tools that have become the staple of quality language apps from MobiSystems, Inc. Also valuable for professionals and for anyone who comes into contact with physics terms and concepts. Ideal for students of physics at A-Level and undergraduate level, as well as students of related science subjects. Three feature entries on low-temperature physics, nanophysics, and quantum entanglement are completely new to this edition, as are entry-level web links. Feature entries provide in-depth analysis of key topics such as crystal defects, magnetic resonance imaging, and the solar system. The dictionary is generously illustrated with over 120 diagrams, graphs, and tables. With 200 new entries and expanded coverage in areas including applied physics, statistical distributions, polymers, and nanoscience, A Dictionary of Physics is more comprehensive than ever before. This dictionary contains over 3,800 entries covering all commonly encountered physics terms and concepts, as well as terms from the related fields of astronomy, astrophysics, and physical chemistry.

It is not available for public use but one can buy subscription for a year. After going through so many etymological dictionaries of science (mainly chemistry & mathematics), I still feel that the unabridged Oxford Dictionary is the best.
