This book analyses the impact computerization has had on contemporary science and explains the origins, technical nature and epistemological consequences of the current decisive interplay between technology and science: an intertwining of formalism, computation, data acquisition, data and visualization and how these factors have led to the spread of simulation models since the 1950s

Crystals are ubiquitous in daily life and technology. Many kinds of crystalline products, such as salt, sugar, and fat, are used in cooking, and electronic devices are made from semiconductor crystals. Crystals also play an important role in life and the global environment. Living organisms produce mineral crystals to maintain biogenic activity, and snow and ice crystals play a crucial role in climate change. For most topics related to crystals, crystal growth is an important research area.
