New research shows that the second law of thermodynamics, which states entropy increases over time, also applies to closed ...

Relationship between information entropy and number of mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 genome, according to Melvin M. Vopson (2022, Applied Sciences) The basis for these rather strong claims is found ...

Entropy always increases, but in quantum systems, traditional entropy measures seem constant. TU Wien researchers resolved this paradox by considering Shannon entropy, which accounts for the ...

However, quantum physics encounters a problem here: the mathematician and physicist John von Neumann was able to show: according to the laws of quantum physics, the entropy in a quantum system cannot ...

This week, astronomers reported the discovery of a super-Earth potentially capable of sustaining life, occupying an eccentric orbit around its star that oscillates in and out of the habitable zone.
