Preface Science and technology have gone hand in hand for several centuries now, to the point where they are essentially synonymous in the mind of the general public. Considering the immense progress made since the Enlightenment in the fields of chemistry, physics, and biology (to name only those disciplines) due to the availability of ever more sophisticated measuring devices, we must admit, if a bit ruefully, that our understanding of the universe would have been a very limited thing indeed if all we had to rely on had been our five senses and our intelligence. And so a curious and industrious humanity built tools that would extend the reach of its limited senses to bring previously unreachable
