An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

The second law of thermodynamics underpins all of classical reality. It is the reason why it's easier to make things messy, why you can’t have perpetual motion, why you age, and maybe even why time ...

For over a century, the Maxwell’s Demon paradox has haunted physics. This thought experiment suggests that a tiny, ...

The second law of thermodynamics, a cornerstone of modern physics, states that entropy—a measure of disorder—never spontaneously decreases. It governs everything from the efficiency of engines to the ...

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as ...

The thermodynamics and kinetics of a nonequilibrium classical system fundamentally constrain the precision of an observable according to the thermodynamic and kinetic uncertainty relations.

Senate Bill 1 solves the nonexistent problem of conservative voices being suppressed and will inhibit learning, ultimately ...

In simpler terms, the second law of thermodynamics means that things naturally tend to become more disordered over time.

In everyday life, we typically encounter water in one of three familiar states—solid, liquid or gas. But there are in fact ...
