The specific surface area of a powder is determined by physical adsorption of a gas on the surface of the solid and by calculating the amount of adsorbate gas corresponding to a monomolecular layer on the surface. Physical adsorption results from relatively weak forces (van der Waals forces) between the adsorbate gas molecules and the adsorbent surface of the test powder. The determination is u...

As the author of The Computational Beauty of Nature (hereafter, abbreviated as CBN) I am grateful for both the complimentary remarks as well as the thoughtful criticisms made by Melanie Moses, Stephanie Forrest, and Martin Berzins. As Moses and Forrest point out, CBN contains many of my intellectual biases and enthusiasms and, as a result, it undoubtedly contains imperfections related to my sub...
