Behind the screens: the crystals that flow like rain down a windowpane

Futurum

AKHSHAY’S PHYSICAL EXPERIMENTS. This not only helps scientists understand what is going on behind the scenes, and why, but also helps to enable the physics to be applied in technology in the future. He starts by considering some basic principles of physics – that the momentum and energy of a system are always conserved.

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. Funder : Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Chemistry with Dr Nicole Hondow and Stuart Micklethwaite.

Soybean is a high-energy, high-protein crop that is indispensable as animal feed. Pathway from school to plant pathology • As well as studying biology and chemistry at school, try to get practical experience of working with plants. In my free time, I like reading and watching videos about physics, astronomy and philosophy.

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.

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

Stephen Wolfram

Building on an earlier interest in space and spacecraft , I’d gotten very interested in physics, and was trying to read everything I could about it. There were several shelves of physics books at the local bookstore. The other books I’d read had all basically said “physics works like this”. The lambda hyperon.
