In this paper, we show that 1) additive energy is not appropriate for discussing the validity of Tsallis or Rényi statistics for nonextensive systems at equilibrium; 2) equilibrium N-body systems with nonad-ditive energy or entropy should be described by generalized statistics whose nature is prescribed by the existence of thermodynamic equilibrium. The nonextensive statistics may be Tsallis or...

I an old analogy, but an apt one: Automating a laboratory without first streamlining its processes is like paving a cowpath. Ignore that maxim, and your lab might end up meandering along a back road while others are zipping down the freeway. “The best way to start is to get rid of the inefficiencies. That can be accomplished without starting on automation,” points out Peter Bambic, Ortho-Clinic...
