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, to put it more ...

Why does time seem to flow one way when most physical laws are time-symmetric? This video examines entropy, information, and ...

Turbulence in nature refers to the complex, time-dependent, and spatially varying fluctuations that develop in fluids such as water, air, and plasma. It is a universal phenomenon that appears across a ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

People in the future must be living more convenient lives than we do.AI might find answers, machines might do the work, and ...

A challenge in materials design is that in both natural and humanmade materials, volume sometimes decreases, or increases, with increasing temperature. While there are mechanical explanations for this ...

Genome-wide association studies have successfully identified a large number of common genetic variants involved in common diseases. However, most associations detected by current genome-wide ...
