The design of novel materials with superior characteristics by entropy stabilization is a very dynamic emerging research area in materials science. However, despite recent advances in ...

In May, On the Boards (OtB) threw what I thought was the best gala of 2020. Called Virtually Spectacular: Sensory Perception, the gala replaced the contemporary performance venue's annual fundraiser, ...

Entropy also increases in initially ordered quantum systems until it reaches a final state of disorder. Entropy and the direction of time Equating 'entropy' with 'disorder' is not entirely correct.

We investigate the reactive flash sintering of Mg0.2Ni0.2Co0.2Cu0.2Zn0.2O precursor powders prepared by a polymeric synthesis route. The flash experiments were performed at a constant heating rate of ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at ...

The event horizon of a black hole is a spherical or spheroidal region from which nothing, not even light, can escape. But outside the event horizon, the black hole is predicted to emit radiation.
