A star is born – using next generation telescopes to explore star formation

Futurum

The PAF technology is brand-new in radio astronomy and provides a significant upgrade on traditional radio telescopes, which have only a few receivers, at most. Good scientists are able to communicate well, collaborate with others and ask for help when they need it. What makes a successful astrophysicist?

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.
