Entropy, the amount of molecular disorder, is produced in several systems but cannot be measured directly. A new equation sheds new light on how entropy is produced on a very short time scale in laser ...

Discarded polyolefin plastics pose severe environmental risks, yet efficient recycling remains challenging. A new study in Engineering presents a ...

A groundbreaking new method developed at the University of Osaka calculates the entropy of liquids using a non-empirical approach, requiring only the atomic species as input. The paper is published in ...

In their quest for more-efficient catalysts and better battery components, scientists are exploring a new category of materials known as high-entropy oxides. These oxides, made from five or more ...

The process of alloying has been used by material engineers, particularly to impart useful specific properties to different materials. In the process of alloying, different materials in trace ...

Entropy, the amount of molecular disorder, is produced in several systems but cannot be measured directly. An equation developed by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and Heinrich Heine ...
