…minds. In the case of Molecular Workbench, the effect is even more profound because the heart of it has actually been written in the universal language of humanity — mathematics….
…radiation energy that ultimately reaches the ground to weaken. This effect is more significant in early morning or late afternoon than at noon because sunlight has to travel a longer…
…maximum range of interaction between atoms—rCut. So, while calculating interactions for a given atom, it’s enough to take into account only atoms from the same box and its closest neighbors….
…actually the smallest in early morning and gradually increases to the maximum at noon (Figure 4). This is opposite to the behavior of the change of the angle of incidence…
Everything in the universe is made from atoms. Virtually all phenomena we observe around us are the result of interactions between atoms and energy changes associated with those interactions: static…
…students meet important learning goals related to interactions at very small scales. We answered two questions: How does learning progress over time? How do the various learning activities support the…
Students need to understand the greenhouse effect to grasp the causes of global warming. Studying the greenhouse effect covers many important science topics—light, energy, molecules, heat, and temperature, to start—and…
