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. When I was younger, I always loved math and science. Maps are very powerful.

Examining the extremely small

Futurum

A nanometre (nm) is a unit of measurement equal to a billionth of a metre, or 0.000001 mm. There are currently 38 research groups in CeNS, and they share their skills and equipment with each other, resulting in scientific discoveries that could not be achieved if individual nanoscientists were working alone.

Stephen Wolfram

But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century.

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.
