New research shows that the second law of thermodynamics, which states entropy increases over time, also applies to closed ...

These findings provide further insights into the mysterious relationship between the quantum world and thermodynamics. While the role of entropy is evident in the classical world, ...

Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the interplay ...

Now, evidently, the Universe is very much out of thermal equilibrium; its entropy has apparently decreased. What's going on? In particular, if the Universe was once in equilibrium, how has it got ...

The continuous increase in entropy is a law of nature. Due to entropy’s relationship with possible states, it is also related to randomness. Additionally, it is associated with heat loss. The second ...

High entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted attention for their remarkable strength, corrosion resistance, irradiation tolerance and thermal stability due to their compositional complexity and ...
