Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have re-engineered the popular Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) for simulating ...

To many physicists, “Tsallis entropy” has been a revolution in statistical mechanics. To others, it is merely a useful fitting technique. Jon Cartwright tries to make sense of this world of disorder. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

In this special guest feature from Scientific Computing World, Robert Roe investigates AMD’s new suite of open-source tools that convert code from CUDA into C++. As HPC clusters and software increase ...

Explore the Boltzmann Brain paradox and its challenge to entropy-driven explanations of our universe's structure and arrow of time. The Boltzmann Brain paradox is an argument against the idea that the ...

TRUST your senses. Any theory that lets bizarre brains randomly pop into existence can’t be a valid description of the universe. That might seem obvious, but such conscious observers, called Boltzmann ...
