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 ...

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

Capt. Edward A. Murphy, an American aerospace engineer, performed several complicated studies on deceleration for the U.S.

Einstein was wrong: study solves 120-year-old problem and forces revision of laws of thermodynamics A research carried out by a Spanish professor ...

A novel suggestion that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution.

The second law of thermodynamics inspires this retirement rule, because “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” ...

A team of researchers led by a physics graduate student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently made the surprising discovery of what they call a “shape-recovering liquid,” which defies ...

Exception to laws of thermodynamics A new property of certain liquids defies the textbooks Date: April 4, 2025 Source: University of Massachusetts Amherst Summary: A team of researchers led by a ...

ABSTRACT: The economy is analyzed on basis of thermodynamic principles, especially the law of maximum entropy production (LMEP). With thermodynamics self-evident, the reasoning is applied to the ...

In a theoretical discussion of the results, the author develops the view that relationships exist between chemical energy and heat other than those expressed by the first and second laws of ...
