Open crystalline configurations self-assembled from colloids with sticky patches have recently been shown to be unexpectedly stable. A theory that accounts for the entropy of the colloids' thermal ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between life and entropy, discussing how low entropy life can exist amidst ...

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 ...

The second law of thermodynamics is one of those puzzling laws of nature that simply emerges from the fundamental rules. It says that entropy, a measure of disorder in the Universe, must always ...

It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or, to put it more ...

The unique properties of high-entropy alloys make them ideal for hydrogen storage, offering advantages in stability and ...

I recently led a webinar on the laws of thermodynamics, which got me thinking: A business is very much a closed system, such as a universe. Therefore, if entropy is always increasing in a closed ...
