Discover how reading a quantum clock can surprisingly cost more energy than keeping it ticking, impacting timekeeping and ...

Accuracy may come at a cost. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. What’s the price of an accurate clock? Entropy, a new study has ...

In nature, the behavior of systems—whether large or small—is always governed by a few fundamental principles. For instance, objects fall downward because it minimizes their energy. At the same time, ...

For as long as people have looked for answers in the night sky, the idea of stepping into a machine and arriving in an ...

Though a cornerstone of thermodynamics, entropy remains one of the most vexing concepts to teach budding physicists in the classroom. Physics teachers designed a hand-held model to demonstrate the ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have uncovered clues to understanding the behavior of high-entropy metal telluride superconductors. They found that features typical of ...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are promising materials for catalysis and energy storage, and at the same time they are extremely hard, heat resistant and demonstrate great variability in their magnetic ...
