A scientist proposes a new law of physics suggesting the universe may be a digital simulation, linking physics, biology, and ...

Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a new framework that could revolutionize our ...

One of the most important ideas in physics is also one of the most misunderstood: entropy. It describes how energy naturally spreads out over time and helps explain why time appears to move in only ...

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

How can the strange properties of quantum particles be exploited to perform extremely accurate measurements? This question is at the heart of the research field of quantum metrology. One example is ...
