Researchers have succeeded in measuring how energy dissipates in quantum dots by quantifying the entropy they produce. The ...

Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

A scientist proposes a new law of physics suggesting the universe may be a digital simulation, linking physics, biology, and ...

How can the strange properties of quantum particles be exploited to perform extremely accurate measurements? This question is at the heart of the research field of quantum metrology. One example is ...

A team of researchers from King’s College and Imperial College London have proposed a new way to calculate entropy production in active matter systems Bacteria use chemical energy, usually from ATP or ...
