In order to build the computers and devices of tomorrow, we have to understand how they use energy today. That's harder than ...

Exactly 200 years ago, a French engineer introduced an idea that would quantify the universe’s inexorable slide into decay. But entropy, as it’s currently understood, is less a fact about the world ...

Researchers have published a paper focused on work to balance strength and ductility in additively manufactured high-entropy ...

Entropy also increases in initially ordered quantum systems until it reaches a final state of disorder. Entropy and the direction of time Equating 'entropy' with 'disorder' is not entirely correct.

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers have used ultrafast laser heating and high-resolution inelastic X-ray scattering to explore the extreme limits of gold's structural stability. The 'entropy ...
