Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

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

Time feels like the most familiar thing in the world, yet it hides one of physics’ hardest questions: why do we only remember ...

A shattered plate, broken glass, and a crumbling mountain may seem worlds apart, yet science says they follow the same hidden ...

Universal law derived by French physicist predicts fragment sizes using entropy & probability.A dropped plate, broken spaghetti and a smashed drin.

Hubble’s Law leads to a cosmological second law of thermodynamics. A global entropy increase accompanies expansion. Topics explored are the second law’s relationship to the cosmic microwave radiation, ...

In January I wrote a piece titled “5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know.” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...

Please cite the above manuscript if you use or adapt the code in this repository or that of the associated solvers implemented in TrixiAtmo.jl in your research. Any questions regarding the content of ...

We study the entropy production in nonequilibrium systems described by a Fokker-Planck equation. We have devised an expression for the entropy flux in the stationary state. We have found that the ...

Entropy is an intrinsic property of matter and its constituents (atoms and molecules) and it has several definitions and meanings. It was first postulated by German physicist Rudolf Clausius in the ...

4. Clausius’s Entropy Equation: The law led to the development of the Clausius’s entropy equation, which is a fundamental equation in thermodynamics. Conclusion The Second Law of Thermodynamics is a ...
