The Unknown Particles of the Universe

STEMe

The Standard Model of Elementary Particles was developed fairly recently in the early 1970s and has explained myriad phenomena related to quantum physics. Z and W bosons are other important particles because they govern the weak force, the force that controls many interactions of the universe.

The power of geographic information systems: bringing data to life with maps

Futurum

The application has since been taken up by lots of agencies, including the Council for Environmental Equality at the White House. I started studying chemistry because it seemed like something I would be able to get a job in. I use GIS to understand the relationship between people, the physical environment and the social environment.

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. physics) in Glasgow—began to be curious about.
