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. Astrophysics courses at university usually start with lots of mathematics and physics before specialising into more advanced physics and astrophysics.

Black holes: the meeting of gravity and quantum physics

Futurum

Published: We know that black holes exist through a mix of complex mathematics and astrophysics but linking mathematical ideas to what we can observe in the Universe is no easy task. While there are elegant mathematics pointing towards certain conditions, these properties cannot be physically observed.

STEM in Science Classrooms – Difference Between Science and Technology

STEM Education Guide

STEM, an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, is an essential component of the educational experience. As the country rolled into the 21st century, STEM achievements in the US were behind those in other countries. In turn, the NSF came up with solutions to boost STEM programs in schools.

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. There were still mathematical loose ends, as well as issues such as its application to living systems and to systems involving gravity.
