The field of anatomy is further divided
into macroscopic and microscopic anatomy.
New experiments carried out with huge molecules called buckyballs show that quantum reality extends
into the macroscopic world as well.
Now, researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have observed how microtubules and motor proteins assemble
into macroscopic networks.
He does this with his idea of two basic ways in which enduring objects can be organized
into macroscopic societies.
Not exact matches
I wanted there to be
macroscopic forms as an essential ingredient in the theory, and these exerting an influence on what happened by providing a sort of filter
into which the causation of quantum mechanics had to direct itself.
Particularly valuable in part two were the chapters on the persistence of teleology in biological discourse despite its political incorrectness, and the insights
into reality being multi-layered (e.g. microscopic and
macroscopic; chemical and biological), requiring different sciences to have different methods, and calling for a renewal of metaphysics to incorporate the insights of modern science.
Matter is no longer an ultimate concept; the hierarchy of
macroscopic, molecular, atomic, subatomic levels trails away without hitting rock - bottom until matter dissolves
into patterns of energy - concentration, and then perhaps
into tensions in space.
When a
macroscopic system is subjected to destabilizing conditions, it separates
into two or more phases that may coexist in equilibrium.
Colloidal suspensions fall
into the category of materials known as «soft matter», and the softness of the rotational device is shown to lead to new transmission phenomena not observed in
macroscopic machines.
Solid state physicists have previously described the microscopic theory of superconductivity — by relating superconductivity to the
macroscopic occurrence of pairs of electrons bound
into so - called Cooper pairs.
This ordered dispersion was extruded via solution spinning
into continuous lengths of
macroscopic neat SWNT fibers.
For example, she says, they might try to put the resonator
into a Schrödinger cat state, in which it would contain a
macroscopic sound wave, comprising many vibrational quanta, and at the same time be devoid of vibrations.
Under such supercooled conditions, a large fraction of the atoms collapse
into the lowest quantum state, at which point quantum effects become apparent on a
macroscopic scale.
The
macroscopic counterpart would correspond to building a tower or a bridge just by choosing the appropriate bricks and letting them self - organize
into the desired structure.
But the critical question, with both fundamental and practical implications, is whether quantum entanglement can be achieved beyond the microscopic realm of elementary particles and
into the everyday or «
macroscopic» world.
One strategy she uses is to cool the
macroscopic components of the device (i.e., the mirrors)
into a coherent quantum state; such components, large enough to see without magnification, exhibit bizarre quantum properties previously observed only at the atomic level.
Hence, it is not the electromagnetic repulsion between electrons and nuclei that is responsible for two wood blocks that are left on top of each other not coalescing
into a single piece, but rather it is the exclusion principle applied to electrons and protons that generates the classical
macroscopic normal force.
Even more amusingly, when you say «very little energy from the system» you are implicitly assuming on the one hand that the second law and its restrictions on the efficiency of heat engines is valid, so one is limited by the Carnot efficiency, while describing a
macroscopic collective system that is 100 % efficient at converting heat
into work.
That's the reason that the article that you linked — after all —
into the discussion requires an external agency that causes the
macroscopic movement of large parcels of air vertically to establish a DALR.
In the gas example, which is more complicated, we may formulate some
macroscopic preservation laws and enter them
into the entropy maximization procedure as equality constraints of the optimization problem.
