What was your favorite toy growing up? This paradox claims that memory—and every other one—is just a random fluctuation.

One of the most important ideas in physics is also one of the most misunderstood: entropy. It describes how energy naturally ...

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

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: ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

The types of glass that we encounter in everyday life, such as window glass or smartphone screens, are disordered solids. This means that they consist of particles locked in place, like those in ...

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 ...
