Explores the science concept of states of matter, how different states exist in everyday situations, and how this concept is used in technology.

"Looking at some of the major inventions and discoveries shaping our world today, Breakthroughs in Science profiles the research leading up to the discovery (not just profiles of the one or two key "players"). Each book describes the "famous" moment and then examines the continued evolution illustrating its impact today and for the future"--.

Chronicles the years of study that led to the discovery of atoms and their relationship to the stars.
