Examining the extremely small

Futurum

A nanometre (nm) is a unit of measurement equal to a billionth of a metre, or 0.000001 mm. Evelyn’s lab develops advanced microscopy methods, combining microscopy with spectroscopy to study how small molecules are taken up and transported in materials at the molecular level. How small are things at the nanoscale?

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

We’ve already got heat transfer , mass transport and acoustics. 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. We’re also doing things like brightness equalization and lens correction, as well as blending images across seams. &#10005.
