Mathematicians have found solutions to a 140-year-old, 7-dimensional equation that were not known to exist for more than a century despite its widespread use in modeling the behavior of gases.

I am writing with regard to two letters (C&EN, Oct. 23, pages 4 and 6). One, by Oswald Bergmann, asks if global warming should be self-limiting according to Stefan-Boltzmann law. The simple answer is ...

Kinetic theory provides a vital framework for bridging the microscopic motion of individual particles and the macroscopic properties observed in gases and fluids. Central to this field is the ...

It has taken 140 years, but only now do we have mathematical proof that a seminal equation describing the behaviour of gases is correct. Robert Strain and Philip Gressman at the University of ...

ERWIN SCHRÖDINGEB, born at Vienna in 1887, comes from that distinguished Austrian school of physics of Which Stefan, Loschmidt, Mach and Boltzmann of which Stefan, Loschmidt, Mach and Boltzmann were ...
