How can engineering address human rights issues?

Futurum

Across Peru, thousands of people do not have access to clean water or efficient transport links. He is investigating the connection between poor transport links and social inequality, and bringing sanitation to a remote community in the Andes. HOW DOES PUBLIC TRANSPORT AFFECT INEQUALITY?

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?

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.

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

Indeed, the Zeroth Law of thermodynamics is essentially the statement that “statistically unique” equilibrium can be achieved, which in terms of energy becomes a statement that there is a unique notion of temperature.

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

We’ve already got heat transfer , mass transport and acoustics. 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.
