Examining the extremely small

Futurum

A nanometre (nm) is a unit of measurement equal to a billionth of a metre, or 0.000001 mm. Nanoscientists manipulate materials at the atomic and molecular level, and thus nanoscience merges physics, chemistry, materials science and biology,” explains Susanne. How small are things at the nanoscale?

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.

LLM Tech and a Lot More: Version 13.3 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Even back in Version 1.0 , when the documentation was a physical book, there were “See Also’s” between functions: And by now there’s a complicated network of such See Also’s: But that’s just the network of how functions point to functions. The issue is that there may be many mathematically equal forms of that expression. In Version 13.3

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

we’ve done something else too: we’ve started creating explicit symbolic modeling frameworks for particular kinds of physical systems that can be modeled with PDEs. We’ve already got heat transfer , mass transport and acoustics. But starting in Version 12.2 Now in Version 13.0 we’re adding solid and structural mechanics. Graph Coloring.
