Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...
For a technical scientific term, entropy is pretty popular. I mean, it was the title of an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, after all. Search the Internet for “entropy” quotes and you’ll find them ...
In this video, we explore the relationship between life and entropy, discussing how low entropy life can exist amidst ...
For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...
Utilizing waste cotton fabric as a dual-functional flexible substrate and carbon source, this work enabled vapor-liquid-solid ...
From a laptop warming a knee to a supercomputer heating a room, the fact that computers generate heat is familiar to everyone. But theoretical physicists have discovered something astonishing: not ...
In my last report from Physics@FOM, I will talk about something I am truly not competent to discuss: "Holography, ADS/CFT and the emergence of gravity." I realize that I am not always the sharpest ...
For all its tumult — erupting stars, colliding galaxies, collapsing black holes — the cosmos is a surprisingly orderly place. Theoretical calculations have long shown that the entropy of the universe ...
If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...
