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 ...

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 ...

On a warm island afternoon, a shave ice is a small lesson in the nature of time. It arrives as a perfect hemisphere of crystals, bright with color, then slowly gives way to the heat.

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 ...

This commentary is by Dan Young of Hyde Park, author of "Restoring Climate Stability by Managing Ecological Disorder," a book analyzing the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of climate change. It’s time ...

High entropy alloys or HEAs consist of five or more different metallic elements and are an extremely interesting class of materials with a great diversity of potential applications (see interview ...
