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?

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

Stephen Wolfram

The issue is that there may be many mathematically equal forms of that expression. For example, here we’re computing a derivative: And here we’re doing a factoring problem: These two answers are mathematically equal. But at first only some date functions supported granularity; now in Version 13.3 In Version 13.3

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

Stephen Wolfram

Already the steam-engine works our mines, impels our ships, excavates our ports and our rivers, forges iron, fashions wood, grinds grain, spins and weaves our cloths, transports the heaviest burdens, etc. He introduced the Boltzmann Transport Equation which allows one to compute at least certain non-equilibrium properties of gases.

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.
