Was an incredible drop in entropy responsible for the Big Bang? If that’s the case, this w Was an incredible drop in entropy responsible for the Big Bang? If that’s the case, this would lead us to ...

Statistical physics is a combination of the law of large numbers and the laws of mechanics. Developed at the turn of the twentieth century by Boltzmann and Gibbs, the theory has been extremely ...

Scientists in Germany have succeeded in re-determining the Boltzmann constant. Physicists expect that in the next two years they will be able to reduce the uncertainty to such an extent that a ...

The Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution describes the probability distribution of molecular speeds in a sample of an ideal gas. Introduced over 150 years ago, it is based on the work of Scottish physicist ...

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have re-engineered the popular Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) for simulating the flow of fluids and heat, making it lighter and more stable than the state ...

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.

For nearly a decade, the HPC (high-performance computing) market has been divided into two camps: CUDA and OpenCL. CUDA, of course, is Nvidia's proprietary standard. It was first out of the gate in ...

A research team has developed a novel direct sampling method based on deep generative models. Their method enables efficient sampling of the Boltzmann distribution across a continuous temperature ...
