With fast heating, sheets of gold can shoot past the theoretical maximum temperature a solid can have before it melts – ...

This is the so-called entropy catastrophe. This critical temperature, where a superheated solid and a liquid have the same entropy, is around three times the melting temperature. Gold has a melting ...

The second law of thermodynamics demands that if we want to make a clock more precise – thereby reducing the disorder, or ...

Time is one of the most intriguing concepts in physics, and yet, it's something that we often take for granted. But what if the way we experience time moving only forward defies the very laws of ...

So forget about being a good loser. Work on the comeback: That’s my advice. Doomed as we may be to entropy, we humans also ...

Entanglement has now become the key resource in quantum information theory. It is being used in quantum teleportation and ...

Evolution cannot explain biological complexity without violating some fundamental laws of nature, specifically, the Second Law of Thermodynamics. If you recall, we mentioned the Second Law of Thermody ...

Hands up everyone who remembers Malcolm Muggeridge, the famous intellectual, journalist and satirist who sadly died in 1990.
