	Thermodynamics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Thermodynamics (from the Greek thermos meaning heat and dynamis meaning power) is a branch of physics that studies the effects of changes in temperature, pressure, and volume on physical systems at the macroscopic scale by analyzing the collective motion of their particles using statistics.
		Essentially, statistical thermodynamics is an approach to thermodynamics situated upon statistical mechanics, which focuses on the derivation of macroscopic results from first principles.
		Thermodynamic processes which develop so slowly as to allow each intermediate step to be an equilibrium state are said to be reversible processes.

	THERMODYNAMICS FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Thermodynamics (from the Greek ''thermos'' meaning heat and ''dynamis'' meaning power) is a branch of physics that studies the effects of temperature on physical systems at the macroscopic scale.
		Statistical mechanics is the underlying theory that sustains thermodynamics; it provides a way to predict the entropy of a thermodynamic system, based on the statistical analysis of the fluctuations that the system experiences over his set of microstates.
		However, the dependence of any one of these four thermodynamic potentials cannot be expressed in terms of the thermodynamic parameters of the system without knowledge of the interaction potentials between system components, the quantum energy levels and their corresponding degeneracies, or the partition function of the system under study.

		Hence the quantum mechanical methods developed in the 1930s and 1940s are often referred to as theoretical molecular or atomic physics to underline the fact that they were more the application of quantum mechanics to chemistry and spectroscopy than answers to chemically relevant questions.
		However, though some principles deduced from quantum mechanics were able to predict qualitatively some chemical features for biologically relevant molecules, they were, till the end of the 20th century, more a collection of rules and recipes than rigorous ab initio quantitative methods.
		Advances in processing technology, like that utilized in other parts of the materials industry, coupled with the advance of optical and x-ray sources, made possible the miniaturization of electrical circuits, culminating in the integrated circuits of the twentieth century.

	Sketching the History of Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Boltzmann formulates a statistical mechanical version of the second law of thermodynamics in the paper, "On the Relation Between the Second Law of the Mechanical Theory of Heat and the Probability Calculus with Respect to the Theorems on Thermal Equilibrium".
		Gibbs publishes Elementary Principles in Statistical Mechanics, his treatise on the subject, deriving common thermodynamic properties from particle statistics, giving his full account of ensemble theory and their relationships (including the so-called "Gibbs paradox," though there was nothing paradoxical about it at the time).
		Einstein publishes a paper on the photoelectric effect, basing his analysis on an analog of the statistical mechanical approach for classical electromagnetic fields modelled as quanta of light.
