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 ...

Protons are far from simple particles — they are swirling cauldrons of quarks, gluons, and quantum entanglement. Scientists ...

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, ...

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

Entropy always increases, but in quantum systems, traditional entropy measures seem constant. TU Wien researchers resolved this paradox by considering Shannon entropy, which accounts for the ...

In recent years, there have been attempts to describe the inside of a proton using quantum information tools, with partial ...

Forget about scarcity. What if enables us all to go into business for ourselves—and in the process, raises our individual and ...

This week, astronomers reported the discovery of a super-Earth potentially capable of sustaining life, occupying an eccentric orbit around its star that oscillates in and out of the habitable zone.

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

The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or, ...
