In thermodynamics, themelting pointdefines a condition in which the solid and liquid can exist in equilibrium. Adding heat will convert the solid into a liquid with no temperature change. The melting point of a substance depends on pressure and is usually specified at standard pressure. When cons...
Enter ceteris paribus. Mainstream economists construct abstract models where they pretend all variables are held constant, except the one they want to test. This style of pretending, called ceteris paribus, is the crux of general equilibrium theory.1 As economistMilton Friedmanwrote in 1953, "theory...
The state of a certain system is defined as the thermodynamic state. It is defined as the set of values of properties of a system that should be... Learn more about this topic: Thermodynamics in Chemistry | Definition & Principles
Entropy, equilibrium, and time Absolute entropies Standard entropies of substances Entropy depends on concentration Summary of key concepts Concept map Entropy is one of the most fundamental concepts of physical science, with far-reaching consequences ranging from cosmology to chemistry. It is also...
Diffusion is a fundamental process in which particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is achieved. This movement is driven by the random motion of particles and occurs in gases, liquids, and solids. Effusion, on the other hand, speci...
Northeastern associate professor of chemistry and chemical biology Leila Deravi says less is more when it comes to picking a product to prevent chapped lips. Credit: Alyssa Stone/Northeastern University When the cold temperatures hit your lips and dry them out this winter, you might turn to some...
In order to lift the front wheels off the ground, you need to disturb this equilibrium between these two opposing forces. More specifically, you need to unbalance the torques acting on the rear wheel. This is achieved by accelerating the motorcycle until the load borne by the fro...

Introduction It is impressive how nature accurately implements molecular self-assembly through ...
Nevertheless, in order to achieve eco-friendly alternative functional materials and technologies, it is necessary to focus on developing sustainable manufacturing processes by employing natural, waste or organic resources; only in this way could it be possible to produce coatings that are more ...
In this review we expand on this definition by answering several fundamental questions about the nature and use of quantum simulators. Our answers address two important areas. First, the difference between an operation termed simulation and another termed computation. This distinction is related to ...
