Thermodynamics and statistical physics provide a unified framework linking the macroscopic laws of energy, work, and entropy to the microscopic motions of particles. Thermodynamics, rooted in the laws ...
Nature: Statistical physics, thermodynamics and nonlinear dynamics articles from across Nature Portfolio
Statistical physics and thermodynamics provide a framework for relating the behaviour of microscopic particles to the macroscopic properties of a system. Thermodynamics casts these macroscopic, or ...
Physicists and computer scientists have recently expanded the modern theory of the thermodynamics of computation. By combining approaches from statistical physics and computer science, the researchers ...

The Aspen Times: Latest out of Aspen Center for Physics: graphic novel about thermodynamics
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers have made a breakthrough in applying the first law of thermodynamics to complex systems. The law is a bedrock of physics, but has long ...
Let's think about what physics is and what topics are covered in an introductory physics course.
Physics is built on a foundation of math and it seeks to explain all phenomena in the universe. It forms the basis for other sciences like chemistry and biology. Physics uses simple yet elegant math to describe complex phenomena, from galaxies to biological systems. It's about understanding and predicting the universe's complexity based on simple ideas.
Welcome to AP®︎/College Physics 1! In AP Physics 1, you'll learn algebra-based classical mechanics. To make sure you’re prepared with the fundamentals, we recommend completing high school physics before diving into AP Physics 1.
