In order to build the computers and devices of tomorrow, we have to understand how they use energy today. That's harder than ...

Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

Entropy, the amount of molecular disorder, is produced in several systems but cannot be measured directly. A new equation sheds new light on how entropy is produced on a very short time scale in laser ...

Entropy is one of the most useful concepts in science but also one of the most confusing. This article serves as a brief introduction to the various types of entropy that can be used to quantify the ...

Recent advances in the study of continued fractions have opened new perspectives on the interplay between dynamical systems and entropy. Researchers are exploring how the inherent structure of ...
