Isotopic Randomness and Self-Organization : In Physics, Biology, Nanotechnology, and Digital Informatics (2018. XIX, 303 S. 240 mm)

§16§§The material world is made of atoms, and the majority of chemical elements has two or more stable isotopes. The existence of isotopes and their applications are well known. Yet, there is little appreciation of isotopic diversity as a singular phenomenon of nature. This book discusses aspects of isotopic diversity in terms of a singular principle: "isotopicity". § §02§Alexander Berezin, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
