A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton ...
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 ...
Thermodynamics was built to describe steam engines and stars, yet the same equations now sit at the heart of quantum ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Liquids relax extremely slowly on approaching the glass state. One explanation is that an entropy crisis, because of the rarefaction of ...
Physicists at the University of Oxford in the UK have conducted an experiment that suggests the more accurately clocks tick, the more disorder, or entropy, occurs in the universe. The second law of ...
A device based on a 155-year-old thought experiment has been realised at the largest scale yet, and it may help us understand how entropy, or disorder, is produced. It could also someday be used to ...
