The recent emergence and proliferation of proximal probes and computational techniques for simulating tip-surface interactions has led to the appearance of the new, interdisciplinary fields of micro/nanotribology and micro/nanomechanics.
Just like the periodical crystalline potential in solid-state crystals determines their properties for the conduction of electrons, the periodical structuring of photonic crystals leads to envisioning the possibility of achieving a control of the photon flux in dielectric and metallic materials.
Universal vehicular communication promises many improvements in terms of ac- dent avoidance and mitigation, better utilization of roads and resources such as time and fuel, and new opportunities for infotainment applications.
Understanding the propagation of radio waves in the vicinity of the earth's surface can be quite complex, especially if detailed theoretical knowledge is required.
