A superpowered model of the whole universe

Futurum

A superpowered model of the whole universe Published: The mysterious substance of dark matter and the enigmatic force of dark energy may hold the key to how the Universe formed. Scientists have long pondered over unseen but important sources of gravity and energy that have shaped the development of the Universe.

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.

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

Stephen Wolfram

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. The theory of heat will hereafter form one of the most important branches of general physics. But in plenty of situations it wasn’t.

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.

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 we define a month “physically”, it corresponds to a certain fractional number of days: &#10005. Expect more features in later versions. And in Version 13.1 we’re dealing with yet another of them.
