August 2024 - 103 articles

Cover Story: Well-designed experiments allow for conceivable alternatives of physical explanation to be distinguished. Experimental answers to physical questions emerge in the form of elementary observations (EO), which are binary pieces of information with a cognitive value of one bit and which become macroscopically observable by the dissipation of particle and instrumental resources of energy. As dynamical entities, EOs emerge through the four phases of initiation, detection, erasure and reset, requiring the input of at least two units of the Landauer minimum energy of ELa = ln(2)kBT per unit of entropy kB generated in the detection process. View this paper

  • Max Hinne

16 August 2024

Several disciplines, such as econometrics, neuroscience, and computational psychology, study the dynamic interactions between variables over time. A Bayesian nonparametric model known as the Wishart process has been shown to be effective in this situ...

This article shows that the gas-phase entropy of molecules is proportional to the area of the molecules, with corrections for the different curvatures of the molecular surface. The ability to estimate gas-phase entropy by the area law also allows us...
