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 ...

A physicist explains how atoms arrange themselves into molecules – and how scientists are able to image these tiny bits of ...

In simple terms, that assertion is correct, but for those with an expertise in the field, the longer answer to who did it ...

Philip Ball looks at how a little-known paper by Niels Bohr demonstrates the turmoil in physics on the brink of quantum ...
