Equations of state in three centuries. What have we learned and some future expectations. Prausnitz together with Buck, Fredenslund and Hala stated in 1983 (Fluid Phase Equilibria, 14: 403-408): ”At ...

FOR THOSE READERS who like short book reviews, let me assist you. "Four Laws That Drive the Universe," by Peter Atkins is an outstanding introduction to thermodynamics. This brief book converts ...

Molecular-based approaches for understanding and tailoring structure-property-processing relations in materials, based on the fundamental principles of quantum and statistical mechanics, have gained ...
