Though a cornerstone of thermodynamics, entropy remains one of the most vexing concepts to teach budding physicists in the classroom. Physics teachers designed a hand-held model to demonstrate the ...

Entropy production lies at the heart of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, a field that examines systems away from equilibrium where continuous energy flows and irreversible processes dominate. In such ...

The clock the team used to demonstrate this principle consists of a pair of quantum dots coupled by a thin tunnelling barrier ...

Quantum thermodynamics has emerged as an innovative field that integrates the principles of quantum mechanics with classical thermodynamic concepts to describe systems beyond equilibrium. Central to ...

Entropy, introduced by Rudolf Clausius in 1865, is a way to quantify the amount of energy dispersion within a system. It reflects how energy, whether thermal or chemical, becomes more scattered ...

In 1961 Rolf Landauer linked information and thermodynamic entropy by showing that erasing or combining bits of memory must be accompanied by an increase in entropy. For the first time since then, a ...

By Partha Sinha Kali is not a goddess carved in stone. She is the logic of decay wearing a garland of skulls. She is entropy, disguised as divinity. Where others promise salvation through order, ...

A deep understanding of the irreversibility of the arrow of time cannot ignore the quantum nature of the world that surrounds us. A deep understanding of the irreversibility of the arrow of time ...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6, 2023 – Though a cornerstone of thermodynamics, entropy remains one of the most vexing concepts to teach budding physicists in the classroom. As a result, many people oversimplify ...
