Electron–proton collisions Study reveals importance of entanglement entropy. (Courtesy: Kevin Coughlin/Brookhaven National Laboratory) An international team of physicists has used the principle of ...

Entropy, a measure of the molecular disorder or randomness of a system, is critical to understanding a system's physical composition. In complex physical systems, the interaction of internal elements ...

A new study proposes a radically simple and efficient way of calculating the complex physical quantity known as entropy -- and it probably exists on your own computer. Entropy, a measure of the ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at ...

Gravity, long the sovereign force in the cosmic hierarchy, may be little more than a statistical side effect a byproduct of entropy, not a fundamental interaction. That is the provocative assertion ...
