High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are promising materials for catalysis and energy storage, and at the same time they are extremely hard, heat resistant and demonstrate great variability in their magnetic ...

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 ...

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how neg-entropy is the true drug target for chronic diseases.

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have uncovered clues to understanding the behavior of high-entropy metal telluride superconductors. They found that features typical of ...

This commentary is by Dan Young of Hyde Park, author of "Restoring Climate Stability by Managing Ecological Disorder," a book analyzing the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of climate change. It’s time ...

In nature, the behavior of systems—whether large or small—is always governed by a few fundamental principles. For instance, objects fall downward because it minimizes their energy. At the same time, ...
