The second law of thermodynamics underpins all of classical reality. It is the reason why it's easier to make things messy, ...

These findings provide further insights into the mysterious relationship between the quantum world and thermodynamics. While the role of entropy is evident in the classical world, ...

A fundamental rule that determines the fate of the universe The second law of thermodynamics means hot things always cool unless you do something to stop them. It expresses a fundamental and ...

Time may move forward and backward, according to new quantum physics research. Equations remain unchanged when time is ...

We here at Hackaday fully support the laws of thermodynamics, and we think you should too. But you have to admit that a pump that works without any apparent energy inputs looks kind of shady at ...

Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the interplay ...

It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or ...

However, interpretations that contravene the laws of thermodynamics, or at least require re-evaluation of fundamental tenets of bioenergetics, may serve to increase, rather than resolve ...

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 ...

Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences discovered that quantum theory doesn’t forbid ...
