An SMU-led research team has developed a more cost-effective, energy-efficient material called high-entropy oxide (HEO) ...

An SMU-led research team develops energy-efficient, high-entropy nanoribbon material for extreme environments and low-cost manufacturing.

If it’s true, this work could have ramifications for some of the biggest mysteries of the universe, including learning where ...

Very soon after the Big Bang, the universe enjoyed a brief phase where quarks and gluons roamed freely, not yet joined up ...

But entropy, as it’s currently understood, is less a fact about the world than a reflection of our growing ignorance. Embracing that truth is leading to a rethink of everything from rational ...

Statistical mechanics is one of the pillars of modern physics. Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906) and Josiah Willard Gibbs ...

The universe is getting more disordered, entropy is growing -- this is the second law of thermodynamics. But according to quantum theory, entropy should actually stay the same. Scientists took a ...

Or, to put it more precisely: that entropy must increase in every closed system. Ordered structures lose their order, regular ice crystals turn into water, porcelain vases are broken up into shards.

To understand this, we need to talk about entropy, a measure of disorder, and how it flows in the universe, both at biological and cosmological scales. In the early universe, before there were ...

Sometimes, randomness is intentionally introduced for security reasons, and that’s accomplished by collecting entropy, which is a measure of unpredictability. What is the concept of entropy?
