Classical Mechanics:** Newton’s second law (F = ma) explains the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The law ...

Thermodynamic spontaneity—whether a reaction can go—can be measured by changes in either of two parameters: entropy or free energy.

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly ...

Olalla, from the Department of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Seville, has described the direct link between ...

The unique properties of high-entropy alloys make them ideal for hydrogen storage, offering advantages in stability and ...

What if we could peer into the brain and watch how it organizes information as we act, perceive, or make decisions? A new ...

Olalla’s recent work argues that the disappearance of specific heat at absolute zero—long treated as part of the third law of thermodynamics—can instead be derived directly from the second law, ...

For much of the past century, science has often been presented as standing in quiet opposition to belief in God. The deeper ...

Physicists have spent a century trying to reconcile the smooth fabric of spacetime in general relativity with the jittery ...
