Energy is conserved by the first law of thermodynamics; its quality degrades constantly due to entropy generation, by the second law of thermodynamics. It is thus important to examine the entropy ...

The laws of thermodynamics don't accurately account for the complex processes in living cells – do we need a new one to ...

If you have a deep-seated, nagging worry over dropping your phone in molten lava, you're in luck. Materials scientists have developed a method for rapidly discovering a new class of materials with ...

Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have teamed up with colleagues in Russia and Saudi Arabia and proposed an efficient method for obtaining fundamental data necessary for ...

It may be a little late for April Fool's, but some skepticism is nonetheless warranted when reading that researchers have shown nanoparticles to disobey a fundamental law of physics which dictates the ...

The adsorption of naphthalene by a Bosket loam soil was studied at 6.5, 15, 25, and 37 C. Because the solubility and vapor pressure of naphthalene are precisely known over this temperature range, a ...
