Imaging the invisible: how can research software and imaging techniques help scientists study the things we can’t see?

Futurum

Because computational methods originated in the natural sciences, some disciplines, such as chemistry and physics, have lots of research software at their disposal. Chemistry with Dr Nicole Hondow and Stuart Micklethwaite. Chemical engineering with Professor Sven Schroeder. These skills help them to transition into RSEs.

A 50-Year Quest: My Personal Journey with the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

And I spent much of the summer of 1972 writing my own (unseen by anyone else for 30+ years) Concise Directory of Physics that included a rather stiff page about energy, mentioning entropy—along with the heat death of the universe. The book didn’t seem to say, though I thought maybe somewhere it was buried in the math.
