Statistical mechanics and probability theory form a cornerstone of modern physics and applied mathematics by linking microscopic interactions with macroscopic phenomena. This interdisciplinary field ...

Statistical mechanics provides an indispensable framework for understanding the complex interplay of molecular interactions, thermal fluctuations and collective behaviour in polymer and biophysical ...

Physicists have created the first two-dimensional version of the Bose glass, a novel phase of matter that challenges statistical mechanics. Physicists from the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge have ...

The Monist, Vol. 102, No. 4, General Topic: Philosophy of Probability (October, 2019), pp. 424-438 (15 pages) There are two theoretical approaches in statistical mechanics, one associated with ...

Statistical mechanics is one of the pillars of modern physics. Ludwig Boltzmann (1844-1906) and Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839-1903) were its primary formulators. They both worked to establish a bridge ...

Heinz, S. 2003 Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent Flows. Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, Tokyo (ISBN: 3-540-40103-2). The simulation of turbulent reacting flows, connected with ...

Modeling of systems with emergent behavior. The course has two components: (1) basic and intermediate statistical mechanics, and (2) application of the course methods to a case study, chosen from ...

Mathematicians have applied statistical mechanics to climate change detection and attribution for first time. They have shown how to separate the 'signal' of human-made climate change from the 'noise' ...

This paper applies some reasoning from statistical mechanics to Lewis's analysis. It turns out that in many cases that involve thermodynamically irreversible processes, Lewis's analysis fails.

If I roll a pair of dice and you get to bet on one number, what do you choose? The smart choice is 7 because there are more ways for 2 dice to come up 7 than any other number. Well, it turns out that ...

Advanced science textbooks are not generally known for their jocularity, but a purported image showing the introductory sentences from one such work is downright gloomy: This chapter on ...
