For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the ...

The unique properties of high-entropy alloys make them ideal for hydrogen storage, offering advantages in stability and ...

The assembly of nanoparticles in polymer films is driven by a complex combination of both enthalpic and entropic effects. Careful control of these factors during preparation can lead to finely ...

When I began my power industry career years ago (initially in the chemistry lab of a coal-fired power plant), the criticality of proper chemistry control of steam boilers, cooling water systems, and ...

Physicists have spent a century trying to reconcile the smooth fabric of spacetime in general relativity with the jittery ...

Thermodynamic spontaneity—whether a reaction can go—can be measured by changes in either of two parameters: entropy or free energy.
