Exactly 200 years ago, a French engineer introduced an idea that would quantify the universe’s inexorable slide into decay. But entropy, as it’s currently understood, is less a fact about the world ...

The ability to quantify differentiation potential of single cells is a task of critical importance. Here we demonstrate, using over 7,000 single-cell RNA-Seq profiles, that differentiation potency 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 ...

What is the concept of entropy? Embedded-system applications that exploit entropy. How to implement entropy. What sources of entropy are available? Computers are designed to be predictable. Under the ...

Entropy is surely one of the most intriguing and misunderstood concepts in all of physics. The entropy of the universe must always increase – so says the second law of thermodynamics. It’s a law that ...

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.
