Physicists have upended a foundational law of materials science by heating gold to over 19,000°C — more than 14 times its ...

Adding energy to a group of ultracold atoms should make them fly away from each other with many different energies, but ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Systems in the Universe trend toward disorder, with only applied energy keeping the chaos at bay. The concept is called entropy, and examples can be found everywhere: ice ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

It’s not easy to surprise physicists with a phase change. Yet when Tom White first reviewed the data from a new experiment that used lasers to heat gold, he had to pause and double-check his results.

SMU researchers develop high-entropy oxide (HEO) nanoribbons that can resist heat, corrosion, and other harsh conditions.
