Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials (ISEM) has addressed a 40-year-old quantum puzzle, unlocking a new ...

A physicist solves an old thermodynamic puzzle and demonstrates directly from the second law that entropy disappears at ...

Furthermore, the dynamics of the entropy balance allow to define a saturated Proportional-Integral controller with a cascade structure: The inner loop tracks an entropy reference, while the outer loop ...

Their adiabatic dew-point cooling technology uses the natural process of water evaporation to lower air temperatures. When water evaporates, it cools the air, making this system highly effective. The ...

Entropy sources can fail in weird ways, be subject to environmental influence, have accidental (or intentional) design flaws, or just not be sufficiently characterized for all operating conditions.

But if we begin to look at entropy in business from a scientific perspective, as a measure of probability instead of chaos, this is where the true business value lies. Take your kitchen, for example.

To avoid misunderstanding, it suffices to keep in mind that usually the differentials correspond to or are a consequence of a positive increment in time, d ⁢ t > 0.With this proviso, if the ...
