Thermodynamic spontaneity—whether a reaction can go—can be measured by changes in either of two parameters: entropy or free energy.

For decades, Arieh Warshel, USC Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and a 2013 Nobel laureate, has used computer simulations ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

Two clashing ideas about disorder inside black holes now point to the same strange conclusions, and it could reshape the ...

After 20 years of re‑examining dusty notebooks and paradoxes, physicist José Martín‑Olalla, a professor at the University of Seville, says he has closed one of the oldest open loops in entropy and ...

Entropy is an intrinsic property of matter and its constituents (atoms and molecules) and it has several definitions and meanings. It was first postulated by German physicist Rudolf Clausius in the ...

In Haken (1988), the eminent scientist Hermann Haken explored the interplay between the concepts of information and self-organization. He took a significant step toward broadening the applicability of ...
