"Entropy is a measure of whether a system is in a special, very particular state, in which case the system has low entropy, or whether it is in one of many states that look more or less the same, in ...

Dr Peter Verheyen from the Sola Society examines whether quantum mechanics and information serve as the fundamental ...

What is the meaning of life? Even the best of us couldn't hope to answer that question in a Universe Today article. But there ...

Researchers taking the first-ever direct measurement of atom temperature in extremely hot materials inadvertently disproved a decades-old theory and upended our understanding of superheating. It's ...

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 ...
