A mathematical equation that considers the balance between enthalpy and entropy can be used to help synthesize disordered ceramics.

Science popularization has its legends and heroes, just like any other field, though I’ve heard no plans as yet to open a Hall of Fame. Should that day come, one of the first inductees would ...

This paper deals with maximum entropy distributions for uncertain parameters that lie between two finite values. Such parameter uncertainties often arise in the modeling of physical systems. The paper ...

The Annals of Probability, Vol. 1, No. 4 (Aug., 1973), pp. 674-689 (16 pages) This paper shows that the epsilon entropy in the sup norm of a wide variety of processes with continuous paths on the unit ...

Running in reverse They found that the change in entropy was negative over time intervals of a few tenths of a second, revealing nature running in reverse.

We finally understand how black holes get their entropy. Physicists have been struggling to figure this out since the early 1970s, when Stephen Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein calculated how much ...
