Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

Though a cornerstone of thermodynamics, entropy remains one of the most vexing concepts to teach budding physicists in the classroom. Physics teachers designed a hand-held model to demonstrate the ...

Current researches show that the standard deviation of the cationic radii, configuration entropy, or maintenance of Ce 4+ have a certain impact on the formation of single-phase HEFOs, but the ...
