For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

Entropy is the process of losing energy and this can apply to physics and social systems alike. JamesBrey/iStock via Getty Images Life is full of small decisions: Should I pick up that sock on the ...

We have been taught to think of entropy as a bad thing. "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;/Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world," wrote William Butler Yeats in the aftermath of World War I, ...
