IN “The New Background of Science” Sir James Jeans, in discussing the activities of life in relation to the second law of thermodynamics, states that living organisms must possess some method ...

New research shows that the second law of thermodynamics, which states entropy increases over time, also applies to closed ...

For over a century, the Maxwell’s Demon paradox has haunted physics. This thought experiment suggests that a tiny, ...

Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the interplay ...

The second law of thermodynamics underpins all of classical reality. It is the reason why it's easier to make things messy, why you can’t have perpetual motion, why you age, and maybe even why time ...

The second law of thermodynamics demands that the entropy of any closed macroscopic system should never decrease. The laws of physics naturally drive systems towards states of increasing disorder ...

Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences discovered that quantum theory doesn’t forbid ...

It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or, to put it more ...

Human activities continue to pump billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year, raising global ...

Researchers from the Nagoya University and Slovak Academy of Sciences have made a ground-breaking discovery that sheds new ...
