Right now, molecules in the air are moving around you in chaotic and unpredictable ways. To make sense of such systems, ...
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 ...
Right now, molecules in the air are moving around you in chaotic and unpredictable ways. To make sense of such systems, physicists use a law known as ...
Temperature as a game of marbles: The Boltzmann distribution states how many particles have which energy, and can be illustrated with the aid of spheres that are distributed in a hilly landscape. At ...
Explore the Collective Motion of Humans in mosh pits, revealing surprising parallels to gas particles and the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. Are humans that different from gas particles? Not ...
An important question in statistical mechanics is how the energy of the whole many particle system distributes over the individual particles? Or in other words what are the energies of the individual ...
