As a measurement of a system's randomness, entropy has specific scientific meaning. Last month, we saw how entropy can be scientifically defined in terms As a measurement of a system's randomness, ...

The concept of entropy—commonly understood as “disorder”—was developed in the 19th century by Sadi Carnot and Rudolf Clausius, who were searching for the most efficient way to convert energy from heat ...

Using a new physics-informed machine learning approach, researchers discovered two new high-entropy alloys with extremely low thermal expansion, a new study reports. The approach could represent a ...

Pity the poor thermodynamics student of the future. As difficult as thermo can be for budding engineers to learn, it is going to get a lot more complicated if a recently published theory is true.
