What if time is not as fixed as we thought? Imagine that instead of flowing in one direction—from past to future—time could ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mathematical equations have shaped our understanding of the universe, and these nine have played a key role in changing the world.

These findings provide further insights into the mysterious relationship between the quantum world and thermodynamics. While ...

After all, what you understand by ‘disorder’ may be subjective, but entropy can be clearly defined with mathematical equations. “Entropy is a measure of whether a system is in a special, very ...
