A superpowered model of the whole universe

Futurum

At Durham University in the UK, Dr Sownak Bose is using techniques from computational cosmology to uncover the mysteries of the early Universe. Simulations and observations Computer modelling has revealed that properties of the early Universe were strongly dependent on the properties of dark matter.

Building and training human tendons in the lab

Futurum

To work effectively, the chamber has to be flexible and undergo mechanical stresses in different directions as the shoulder joint moves. “We Later, as a teenager, I developed interests in life sciences and astronomy, although I was most interested in spending time with friends! Other days, I work from home.

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. The team can control the design of MOFs to enter cells.

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

Stephen Wolfram

And through all those years we’ve energetically continued building further and further, adding ever more capabilities, and steadily extending the domain of the computational paradigm. This uses ordinary listability, effectively computing: &#10005. We released Version 13.0 on December 13, 2021. And in Version 13.1 In Version 13.1

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

Stephen Wolfram

And all those years we’ve been continuing to build a taller and taller tower of capabilities, progressively expanding the scope of our vision and the breadth of our computational coverage of the world: Version 1.0 In the arc of intellectual history it defines a broad, new, computational paradigm for formalizing the world.

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

All the functions in Abramowitz & Stegun are now fully computable in the Wolfram Language. And from the “worst-case” way the interval was computed this now provides a definite theorem. We’ve also built our groundbreaking symbolic computational geometry system that lets us flexibly describe regions for PDEs.

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

Stephen Wolfram

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics (forthcoming) 2. And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. This is part 3 in a 3-part series about the Second Law: 1. How Did We Get Here?
