Alloys traditionally consist of two or more metallic elements, with secondary elements enhancing the properties of a primary ...

The universe is getting more disordered, entropy is growing -- this is the second law of thermodynamics. But according to quantum theory, entropy should actually stay the same. Scientists took a ...

High entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted attention for their remarkable strength, corrosion resistance, irradiation tolerance and thermal stability due to their compositional complexity and ...

New research shows that the second law of thermodynamics, which states entropy increases over time, also applies to closed ...

The researchers tested their new approach on two groups of metals: five high-melting-point metals (vanadium, molybdenum, ...

Skoltech and MIPT researchers have sped up the search for high-performance metal alloys for the aerospace industry, ...

In case the spin is 50% up and 50% down, then Shannon entropy is high because we are equally likely to get either result, and the measurement gives us new information. As more time passes ...

The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or, to put it more precisely: that entropy ...

In a recent collaboration, Turbotech, Safran, and Air Liquide teamed up to validate the feasibility of using liquid hydrogen to power a turbine engine ... when burned at high temperatures upwards ...

An engineering expert says the collapse of a wind turbine in western Victoria this week is "totally unacceptable", given the turbines are only two years old. The government says a section of the ...
