Examining the extremely small

Futurum

A nanometre (nm) is a unit of measurement equal to a billionth of a metre, or 0.000001 mm. Nanoscientists manipulate materials at the atomic and molecular level, and thus nanoscience merges physics, chemistry, materials science and biology,” explains Susanne. How small are things at the nanoscale?

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

Futurum

The application has since been taken up by lots of agencies, including the Council for Environmental Equality at the White House. 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.

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.

Zero-g and Me

The Blog of Phyz

I am still waiting for that day but I have traveled into the stratosphere aboard NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). The astronaut could finally achieve their dream of floating in space. A free body diagram shows the normal force is equal to zero. My hometown was somewhat confused about that.

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

And now we can for example find the maximum 3, 3 component of the strain tensor and the position where it’s achieved: &#10005. We can also take a single video and “summarize” it as a series of video + audio snippets, chosen for example equally spaced in the video. But if you’re doing astronomy they can really matter.
