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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Gene has been managing GSA/DoD projects for Verdek since late 2024, which also includes commercial charging station projects. Because of his 30-year history of growing technical busineses, he can ...

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.

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

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