Physicists superheated gold to 14 times its melting point, disproving a long-standing prediction about the temperature limits ...

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 ...

Heating that lasted only trillionths of a second raised a gold sample’s temperature to 19,000 K without melting it, a study ...

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 ...

Instead of the big bang, some physicists have suggested that our universe may have come from a big bounce following another ...

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

In the strange, often unintuitive world of quantum physics, one mystery has stood out for decades: Can quantum entanglement be manipulated in a reversible way, like energy in a perfect heat engine?

Second, he said, there might be “an arrow in time that describes this increasing complexity,” similar to the way the second law of thermodynamics, which describes the increase in entropy, is ...
