According to the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy of an isolated system tends to increase over time. Everything around us follows this law; for instance, the melting of ice, a room becoming ...

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

In the tug-of-war between order and chaos within multielemental carbides, entropy eventually claims victory over enthalpy by ...

Entropy is surely one of the most intriguing and misunderstood concepts in all of physics. The entropy of the universe must always increase – so says the second law of thermodynamics. It’s a law that ...

Entropy is one of the most useful concepts in science but also one of the most confusing. This article serves as a brief introduction to the various types of entropy that can be used to quantify the ...
