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 ...

Kinetic equations serve as fundamental tools for understanding the statistical behaviour of particles within a system, bridging the microscopic world of individual particle interactions with ...

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.

(Nanowerk News) Physicists use the Boltzmann equation to calculate the statistical distribution of the particles in a conventional gaseous system. Attempts to apply the equation to so-called “active” ...

Science popularization has its legends and heroes, just like any other field, though I’ve heard no plans as yet to open a Hall of Fame. Should that day come, one of the first inductees would ...

Strong conclusions: Eric Johnson covers Ludwig Boltzmann’s science well, but veers into dangerous territory by pathologizing him. (Courtesy: Photo Researchers / Science Photo Library) Yet I found ...
