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 ...

The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or, ...

Hydrogen peroxide might sound like an alternative to traditional cancer treatments, but it hasn’t been shown to treat or cure cancer in humans and can be dangerous when taken internally ...

There are striking similarities between how elementary particles come together to form atoms, molecules and eventually various materials and how a family, a village and then a society is established ...

Liquid-based photodetector leverages water molecules for quantum dot enhancement, offering high sensitivity and wavelength-specific customization for optical and medical applications.

National Cancer Institute researchers have developed a method called HORNET for characterizing 3D topological structures of large and flexible RNA molecules. Scientists used atomic force ...

The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a graphene sheet used as a crystal grating withstood 100 hours of irradiation from an atom beam ... and the hydrogen/helium atoms ...

You really get a sense of how minimal an Atom is when it doesn’t have an engine in it. The Tesla motor, inverter, and gear reduction box from the Tesla weigh just shy of 300 pounds, which is ...

In a recent collaboration, Turbotech, Safran, and Air Liquide teamed up to validate the feasibility of using liquid hydrogen to power a turbine engine for light aircraft. Nearly a year ago to this ...
