Entropy is the measure of the disorder in a system that occurs over a period of time with no energy put into restoring the order. Zentropy integrates entropy at multiscale levels. Credit: Elizabeth ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

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

Entropy and information theory form a cornerstone of modern statistical and communication sciences. Entropy serves as a fundamental measure of uncertainty and information content in both physical and ...

Entropy and information theory offer a robust quantitative framework for decoding the complexity inherent in landscape patterns. By drawing from principles in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, ...

A challenge in materials design is that in both natural and humanmade materials, volume sometimes decreases, or increases, with increasing temperature. While there are mechanical explanations for this ...
