Distillation columns are extensively deployed in the chemical process industries when there is a need for separation of components that have different boiling points. Typically, a mixture of ...

The longest hydrocarbons have very high boiling points. They leave the column as a hot liquid called bitumen. Shorter hydrocarbon molecules have weaker intermolecular forces and lower boiling points.

Imagine a humble, dark liquid pulled from deep within the Earth, mysterious, dense, and seemingly simple. Yet, in the right ...

The Chinese company’s leap into the top ranks of AI makers has sparked heated discussions in Silicon Valley around a process DeepSeek used known as distillation, in which a new system learns ...

Fractional distillation works because the different liquids have different boiling points. When the mixture is heated: vapours rise through a column which is hot at the bottom, and cold at the top ...

If DeepSeek did indeed rip off OpenAI, it would have done so through a process called “distillation.” As Michael Schuman explained in an article for The Atlantic this week, “In essence ...
