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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Physicists at the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence suggesting that, at the quantum level, time does not have a ...

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