Fizica povestita is a book that aims to explain the main concepts and discoveries of physics in a simple and engaging way. Presura covers topics such as the structure of matter, the nature of light, the laws of motion, the origin and evolution of the universe, and the mysteries of quantum mechanics. He uses examples from everyday life, historical anecdotes, and personal stories to illustrate his points. He also includes many diagrams, pictures, and exercises to help the reader understand and apply the physics concepts.
The book has been praised by critics and readers alike for its clarity, humor, and accessibility. It has been described as a "grandiose composition" that can "sensitize even the least scientifically educated ears" [^1^]. It has also been recommended as a useful resource for students and teachers who want to learn or teach physics in a fun and interactive way.
Presura's passion for physics and science communication is evident in his writing style and his activities. He is a member of Ad Astra, an association of Romanian researchers, and a founder of Stiinta pentru Toti (Science for Everyone), an online platform that promotes science education and outreach. He also gives lectures and interviews on various media outlets, where he talks about his research and his book.
Presura's book is available in PDF format online [^2^] [^3^], as well as in print from Humanitas [^1^]. It is written in Romanian, but it can be easily translated into other languages using online tools. It is a book that can inspire curiosity and appreciation for physics and science in general.Presura's research focuses on consumer health sensors, especially optical sensors that can measure physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, and blood perfusion. He has invented and introduced the first watch that can measure the pulse of athletes using only optical sensors [^1^]. He has also developed a laser speckle sensor for measuring a blood perfusion parameter [^1^]. He has published more than 50 papers and patents in his field of expertise.
Presura is also interested in the physics of strongly correlated electron systems, such as superconducting cuprates. He has studied the optical properties of these materials using ellipsometry and infrared spectroscopy. He has contributed to the understanding of the energy-loss function, the partial Coulomb energy, and the charge-transfer gap in these systems [^1^] [^2^]. He has collaborated with renowned physicists such as Dirk van der Marel and George Sawatzky.
Presura is not only a successful researcher, but also a passionate teacher and communicator. He has given lectures and courses on various topics of physics, such as quantum mechanics, relativity, cosmology, and thermodynamics. He has also participated in science fairs, festivals, and competitions, where he has demonstrated physics experiments and concepts to children and adults. He has received several awards and recognitions for his science outreach activities. e0e6b7cb5c
