Examining the extremely small

Futurum

Nanoscience has applications in all fields of science: physicists can determine the structure of atoms, biologists can observe the structure of molecules, materials scientists can control the properties of new materials and computer engineers can develop faster electronics. Once I started studying at university, I was hooked!

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. However, changes in metal chemistry appear to be more marked in diseased brains than in healthy brains. Published: May 11, 2022. Download the article. Reference [link].

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

And we’ve been steadily doing the engineering to let AIs call on Wolfram Language as easily as possible. One’s not dealing with some (usually very expensive) “just for PDEs” package; what we now have is a “consumerized” way to handle PDEs whenever they’re needed—for engineering, science, or whatever. But in Version 14.0

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. There had been precursors of steam engines even in antiquity, but it was only in 1712 that the first practical steam engine was developed.
