A new study proposes a radically simple and efficient way of calculating the complex physical quantity known as entropy -- and it probably exists on your own computer. Entropy, a measure of the ...
In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...
Two clashing ideas about disorder inside black holes now point to the same strange conclusions, and it could reshape the ...

The generalization of statistical mechanics makes it possible to regularize the theory of critical phenomena
Statistical mechanics is one of the pillars of modern physics. Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906) and Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839–1903) were its primary formulators. They both worked to establish a bridge ...
Topological phases are unique states of matter that incorporate long-range quantum entanglement and host exotic excitations with fractional quantum statistics. Here we report a practical method to ...
A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton ...

I cracked the code on entropy and heat!
Explore the intriguing solution to Maxwell's demon paradox as Rolf Landauer reveals how erasing information generates heat ...
Entropy, a measure of the molecular disorder or randomness of a system, is critical to understanding a system's physical composition. In complex physical systems, the interaction of internal elements ...
