Thermodynamic Temperature
Thermodynamic temperature Thermodynamic temperature is the absolute measure 1 Overview of temperature and is one of the principal parameters of thermodynamics. Temperature is a measure of the random submicroscopic Thermodynamic temperature is defined by the third law motions and vibrations of the particle constituents of of thermodynamics in which the theoretically lowest tem- matter.

New Gravity & History Has Mass. 28 Slides First
SPECULATIONS IN PHYSICS – NEW GRAVITY – HISTORY HAS MASS NEW GRAVITY & HISTORY HAS MASS. 28 SLIDES FIRST - Conclusions in pictures. This compilation of 20 years of articles from my ancient website and my more contemporary blogsite, courtesy of Google Blog, is presented with the most recent articles and conclusions at the beginning and the earliest dates at the end. I was15 years old when I bought the first edition of New Scientist, I have read it weekly ever since. Now at 78 years old I have just received Issue Number 3321. Divide that by 52 weeks and it tells me, ignoring publishing anomalies, that I have read nearly 64 years of their reporting of scientific news and comments. What stamina – on both our parts. The weekly 30 or 40 pages of New Scientist, dismissed by some “real” scientists as no more than a flimsy, flippant comic, lured me into reading hundreds of other magazines and books – and eventually, at a late age, into attending particle and astro-physics evening classes for three years on Oxford Continuing Education courses. I was the oldest in the class. Despite a 50 year gap in grappling with mathematics – other than arithmetic for accountants – I did manage to successfully complete all the homework we were set. But don’t ask my aged brain to attempt such calculations today. You will not need maths to follow these articles; maths is here mostly translated into English. Having absorbed and weighed 64 years of information, making these written notes for the last 20 years, I have impertinently formed heretical but interesting and perhaps credible opinions about gravity, dark-matter, dark-energy, and other scientific mysteries. -
New Quantum Particle
New Quantum Particle Scientists at Amherst College and Aalto University have created, for the first time a three- dimensional skyrmion in a quantum gas. [38] Using lasers, U.S. and Austrian physicists have coaxed ultracold strontium atoms into complex structures unlike any previously seen in nature. [37] A team of researchers has now presented this state of matter in the journal Physical Review Letters. The theoretical work was done at TU Wien (Vienna) and Harvard University, the experiment was performed at Rice University in Houston (Texas). [36] The old question, whether quantum systems show recurrences, can finally be answered: Yes, they do—but the concept of recurrence has to be slightly redefined. [35] Researchers at Purdue University have performed the first experimental tests of several fundamental theorems in thermodynamics, verifying the relationship between them and providing a better understanding of how nanoparticles behave under fluctuation. [34] Identifying right-handed and left-handed molecules is a crucial step for many applications in chemistry and pharmaceutics. [33] A team of researchers from several institutions in Japan has described a physical system that can be described as existing above "absolute hot" and also below absolute zero. [32] A silicon-based quantum computing device could be closer than ever due to a new experimental device that demonstrates the potential to use light as a messenger to connect quantum bits of information—known as qubits—that are not immediately adjacent to each other. [31] Researchers at the University of Bristol's Quantum Engineering Technology Labs have demonstrated a new type of silicon chip that can help building and testing quantum computers and could find their way into your mobile phone to secure information. -
