A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...

Entropy, the amount of molecular disorder, is produced in several systems but cannot be measured directly. A new equation sheds new light on how entropy is produced on a very short time scale in laser ...

In the tug-of-war between order and chaos within multielemental carbides, entropy eventually claims victory over enthalpy by pushing the system toward complete disorder as the diversity of elements in ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Liquid metals have long fascinated materials scientists due to their unique properties that bridge the gap between solid and liquid states of matter. These materials, which remain ...

We all know that to have life on a world, you need three critical items: water, warmth, and food. Now add to that a factor called “entropy”. It plays a role in determining if a given planet can ...

Entropy. Randomness. Disorder. Think of it as the universe’s tendency to move from ordered to disordered forms. It is a scientific concept of something that increases over time and something that is ...
