What can stars reveal about galaxies and what can cultures reveal about stars?

Futurum

PROFESSOR RAJA GUHATHAKURTA Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics University of California Santa Cruz, USA. . Amanda talks about her astronomy work to a class of school students over Skype. I liked all kinds of science when I was at school – biology, chemistry, physics. I think there are parallels between art and astronomy.

Building and training human tendons in the lab

Futurum

This involves the creation of ‘bioreactors’, which attempt to provide the same chemical and physical properties as the tissue site in the body. To work effectively, the chamber has to be flexible and undergo mechanical stresses in different directions as the shoulder joint moves. “We In school, I disliked physics and was bad at maths.

Examining the extremely small

Futurum

“Nanoscientists manipulate materials at the atomic and molecular level, and thus nanoscience merges physics, chemistry, materials science and biology,” explains Susanne. Nanoscience goes beyond these traditional borders, which is why CeNS strives to bring together researchers from physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacy and medicine.”

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. The theory of heat will hereafter form one of the most important branches of general physics.

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

We’ve also built our groundbreaking symbolic computational geometry system that lets us flexibly describe regions for PDEs. we’ve done something else too: we’ve started creating explicit symbolic modeling frameworks for particular kinds of physical systems that can be modeled with PDEs. But starting in Version 12.2 Graph Coloring.

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

And for AIs we’re providing a variety of tools —like immediate computable access to documentation , and computable error handling. But it’s also possible for anyone to post their prompts in the Wolfram Cloud and make them publicly (or privately) accessible. The prompts can define personas (“ talk like a [stereotypical] pirate ”).
