What can stars reveal about galaxies and what can cultures reveal about stars?

Futurum

This reaction releases huge amounts of energy, which is why stars radiate so much heat and light. This energy also stops stars from collapsing in on themselves under the pressure of gravity.

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.”

Shining a light on the role of trace metals in neurodegenerative diseases

Futurum

A team of researchers with expertise in physics, engineering and biology are finding out whether trace metals in the brain are linked to neurodegenerative diseases. This gives each element a unique set of energy levels – a signature that shows up when X-rayed. Shining a light on the role of trace metals in neurodegenerative diseases.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But he had a second hypothesis too—based, he said, on the ideas of “that most ingenious gentleman, Monsieur Descartes”: that instead air consists of “flexible particles” that are “so whirled around” that “each corpuscle endeavors to beat off all others”. And yes, in things like elastic collisions, this quantity did seem to be conserved.

Launching Version 13.1 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica ??????

Stephen Wolfram

And in addition to adding a great deal of flexibility, this also means that the toolbar immediately works on all platforms. (By If one’s doing something like astronomy, this kind of “physical” date computation is probably what one wants. Expect more features in later versions. Another phenomenon included in Version 13.1
