Statistical physics and thermodynamics provide a framework for relating the behaviour of microscopic particles to the macroscopic properties of a system. Thermodynamics casts these macroscopic ...

Professor Dr. Gert Heinrich, Senior Research Professor at TU Dresden and former head of the Institute of Polymer Materials at the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden (abbrev. IPF in German), ...

New research shows that extreme rainfall increases follow expected temperature relations when rainfall types are separated, ...

Short and Winter prove that the second law of thermodynamics is not our fault. How do they get us off the hook? In classical statistical mechanics, the probabilities that define entropy reflect ...

Extreme rainfall during thunderstorms rises at expected rates with warming. Earlier overestimates came from mixing storm ...

The prestigious fellowship, now in its 100th year, is granted to distinguished artists and scholars and provides support for ...

The course introduces the student to statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. Statistical mechanics is the microscopic foundation of thermodynamics. The student is introduced to the fundamental ...

Flows and forces. Phenomenological equations. Onsager’s reciprocity relations. Some information about Gibb’s ensemble method in statistical thermodynamics. Solid matters. Real gasses, introduction to ...

It begins with a review of the formal structure of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics considered from a unified viewpoint. After a brief revision of non-interacting systems, emphasis is laid on ...

This valuable study presents an analysis of evolutionary conservation in intrinsically disordered regions, identified as key drivers of phase separation, leveraging a protein language model. The ...

In 1900, at the grand amphitheater of the Sorbonne in Paris, David Hilbert stood before a crowd of mathematicians and ...

Werner Heisenberg submitted a paper to Zeitschrift für Physik entitled ‘On quantum-theoretical reinterpretation of kinematic and mechanical relationships’, thus giving birth to quantum mechanics. In ...
