In earlier work, we presented a foundation for the second law of classical thermodynamics in terms of the entropy principle. More precisely, we provided an empirically accessible axiomatic derivation ...

This article provides a completion to theories of information based on entropy, resolving a longstanding question in its axiomatization as proposed by Shannon and pursued by Jaynes. We show that ...

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a new framework that could revolutionize our ...

Humans have been making metal alloys for thousands of years, and most of us can conjure a rough mental image of the ...

Physicists and mathematicians at the Universities of Portsmouth and Central Lancashire in the U.K., have discovered a new law of physics that could predict genetic mutations in organisms, including ...

Two-dimensional nanomaterials only a few atoms thick are being pushed to new frontiers, with scientists synthesizing MXenes that pack up to nine transition metals into a single ultrathin sheet. The ...
