    Description: The original 1818 text of Mary Shelley's classic novel, with annotations and essays highlighting its scientific, ethical, and cautionary aspects. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has endured in the popular imagination for two hundred years. Begun as a ghost story by an intellectually and socially precocious eighteen-year-old author during a cold and rainy summer on the shores of Lake Geneva, the dramatic tale of Victor Frankenstein and his stitched-together creature can be read as the ultimate parable of scientific hubris. Victor, “the modern Prometheus,” tried to do what he perhaps should have left to Nature: create life. Although the novel is most often discussed in literary-historical terms—as a seminal example of romanticism or as a groundbreaking early work of science fiction—Mary Shelley was keenly aware of contemporary scientific developments and incorporated them into her story. In our era of synthetic biology, artificial intelligence, robotics, and climate engineering, this edition of Frankenstein will resonate forcefully for readers with a background or interest in science and engineering, and anyone intrigued by the fundamental questions of creativity and responsibility. This edition of Frankenstein pairs the original 1818 version of the manuscript—meticulously line-edited and amended by Charles E. Robinson, one of the world's preeminent authorities on the text—with annotations and essays by leading scholars exploring the social and ethical aspects of scientific creativity raised by this remarkable story. The result is a unique and accessible edition of one of the most thought-provoking and influential novels ever written. Essays by Elizabeth Bear, Cory Doctorow, Heather E. Douglas, Josephine Johnston, Kate MacCord, Jane Maienschein, Anne K. Mellor, Alfred Nordmann

    Description: Author(s): Simon C. Davenport and Nigel R. Cooper We study a model of a two-dimensional ultracold atomic gas subjected to an “optical flux lattice”: a laser configuration where Raman-dressed atoms experience a strong artificial magnetic field. This leads to a band structure of narrow energy bands with nonzero Chern numbers. We consider the case of … [Phys. Rev. A 92, 023608] Published Mon Aug 10, 2015

    Description: Author(s): Yuki Endo, Daisuke Inotani, Ryo Hanai, and Yoji Ohashi We investigate the possibility that the broken spatial inversion symmetry caused by a trap potential induces a spin-triplet Cooper pair amplitude in an s -wave superfluid Fermi gas. Based on symmetry considerations, we clarify that this phenomenon may occur, when a spin rotation symmetry of the syste… [Phys. Rev. A 92, 023610] Published Mon Aug 10, 2015

    Description: Author(s): Tomoki Ozawa, Hannah M. Price, and Iacopo Carusotto We show how the weakly trapped Harper-Hofstadter model can be mapped onto a Harper-Hofstadter model in momentum space. In this momentum-space model, the band dispersion plays the role of the periodic potential, the Berry curvature plays the role of an effective magnetic field, the real-space harmoni… [Phys. Rev.

Steglich We present measurements of the thermopower S ( T ) on CePd 1 − x Rh x between 2 K and 300 K. For low Rh content, the system behaves as a ferromagnetic Kondo system with a Curie temperature T C of about 6 K, a Kondo scale smaller than T C , and an overall crystal electric field splitting of 210 K. As the Rh con… [Phys. Rev. B 92, 054415] Published Mon Aug 10, 2015

Marangolo In this work we report the appearance of a large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in Fe 1 − x Ga x thin films grown onto ZnSe/GaAs(001). This arising anisotropy is related to the tetragonal metastable phase in as-grown samples recently reported [M. Eddrief et al. , Phys. Rev. B 84 , 161410 (2011) ].… [Phys. Rev.
