What if the secret to solving the world’s most complex problems wasn’t about thinking bigger, but thinking smaller, breaking things down to their most basic truths? This is the power of first ...

The fundamental concepts or assumptions on which a theory, system, or method is based. – Oxford Languages First principle reasoning breaks down complex problems into their most basic, foundational ...

Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...

First-principles calculations, rooted in quantum mechanics and executed without recourse to empirical parameters, provide a robust framework for predicting the mechanical and thermodynamic properties ...

First-principles studies employ quantum mechanical methods, most notably density functional theory (DFT), to accurately predict the atomic-scale interactions that govern bonding, mechanical stability, ...

This review paper published in AI & Materials explores the implementation of first-principles calculation method within high-entropy carbides ceramics (HECCs) research, specifically examining its role ...

I recently read the biography of Benjamin Franklin, 1 and it did not disappoint. Franklin grew up in working-class conditions, starting his career early on as a tradesman and then pivoting into ...
