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.”

The power of geographic information systems: bringing data to life with maps

Futurum

I was especially interested in meteorology and astronomy – I love everything to do with the sky and weather. I started studying chemistry because it seemed like something I would be able to get a job in. I soon realised I was more interested in biology because you can see the systems you are working with, so I switched degrees.

Launching Version 13.1 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica ??????

Stephen Wolfram

And for the past four years I’ve been sharing the “behind the scenes” of how it’s achieved—by livestreaming our Wolfram Language design review meetings. And that’s finally been achieved in Version 13.1. If one’s doing something like astronomy, this kind of “physical” date computation is probably what one wants. &#10005.

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

Stephen Wolfram

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. Coarse-grained variables. But the paper is ending.
