Gibbs thermodynamics and surface properties at the nanoscale.
Gibbs’s thermodynamic theory approximates systems as infinitely large phases separated by infinitely thin surfaces. The range of validity of this framework comes naturally under scrutiny as we become ever more interested in the properties of nanosystems.
Thermostatistics of thermophilic motion.
A thermodynamic framework based on a Hamiltonian of mean force can describe the somewhat counterintuitive and elusive phenomenon of negative thermophoresis (thermophilic motion) in an unusually elegant and straightforward fashion.
Statistical Mechanics at Strong Coupling: A Bridge between Landsberg's Energy Levels and Hill's Nanothermodynamics.
Landsberg's framework of "temperature-dependent energy levels" and the resulting temperature-dependent Hamiltonian of mean force provide a thermostatistical foundation for Terrell L. Hill's celebrated nanothermodynamics.

Massebevaring? Nei.
Noen tror at ”Massebevaring regnes som en naturlov, altså en sammenheng som
er universell og alltid sann.” De tar feil.

Femårig lærerutdanning og den selvakkrediterte masterveilederen
Hva gjør lærerutdanningsinstitusjonene når det ikke finnes kvalifiserte veiledere? Svaret er utbredt pesonlig selvakkreditering.
Questionable practice undermines the doctoral process
Aspiring associate professors are encouraged to supervise doctoral work in fields where they have no academic competence. The normalization of this practice could undermine the academic standards upon which NTNU’s international credibility rests.
En av tre lærerutdannere er kritiske til mastergrad for lærerstudenter
Rodrigo de Miguel ble intervjuet av Utdanningsnytt i fordindelse med obligatorisk master i grunnskolelærerutdanning.
Om driftsmidler, annuum og autonomi
Uten overkommelige driftsmidler har professorer begrenset autonomi i sin rolle som forskere.
Når administrative ledere tror de er fagfeller, lider vår akademiske frihet
Akademisk forskningsfrihet skal reguleres av kvalifiserte fagfellevurderinger, ikke av vilkårlige administrative ledere.
