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 ...

Entropy isn't well understood in systems that aren't at equilibrium, but a new experiment shows a non-equilibrium phenomenon that actually depends upon entropy. Entropy, the measure of disorder in a ...

Entropy is the process of losing energy and this can apply to physics and social systems alike. JamesBrey/iStock via Getty Images Life is full of small decisions: Should I pick up that sock on the ...

Entropy is one of the most useful concepts in science but also one of the most confusing. This article serves as a brief introduction to the various types of entropy that can be used to quantify the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about my journey as a first-time CEO and startup founder. It always amazes me how translatable the world of physics can be ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- Entropy, the measure of disorder in a physical system, is something that physicists understand well when systems are at equilibrium, meaning there's no external ...
