An international team of physicists kept solid gold intact while superheating it to 19,000 Kelvin, about 33,740 degrees ...

Though a cornerstone of thermodynamics, entropy remains one of the most vexing concepts to teach budding physicists in the classroom. Physics teachers designed a hand-held model to demonstrate the ...

With fast heating, sheets of gold can shoot past the theoretical maximum temperature a solid can have before it melts – raising questions about what the true limits are ...

In Statistical Thermodynamics, Ludwig Boltzmann was the first person to create a model that made sense of this function, in that it (entropy) grows correctly. So, what is this entropy?

The perceived arrow of time, however, seems largely independent of anything entropy or thermodynamics may do. What, if anything, happens when we bring the expanding Universe into the equation?

Therefore, if entropy is always increasing in a closed system, according to the second law of thermodynamics, it increases in a business, as well.

In 1961 Rolf Landauer linked information and thermodynamic entropy by showing that erasing or combining bits of memory must be accompanied by an increase in entropy. For the first time since then ...

They can add a quantum battery to the entangled pair to store entanglement information, which could help improve the ...

Entropy is a confusing concept, but it is also extremely useful for quantifying the properties of complex systems like the human brain. This article attempts to demystify the term.

If a black hole has zero entropy, then throwing mass into a black hole would violate the second law of thermodynamics, as the sum total entropy of the universe would decrease by the amount of ...
