Physicists have upended a foundational law of materials science by heating gold to over 19,000°C — more than 14 times its ...

What's an intuitive way to understand entropy? This question was originally answered on Quora by Mark Eichenlaub.

Two-dimensional nanomaterials only a few atoms thick are being explored for a range of critical applications in biomedicine, ...

Entropy is surely one of the most intriguing and misunderstood concepts in all of physics. The entropy of the universe must always increase – so says the second law of thermodynamics. It’s a ...

We establish an upper bound for the entropy, based on the eigenvalue interlacing property, and we incorporate this bound in a branch-and-bound algorithm for the exact solution of the problem. We ...

A strengthened central limit theorem for densities is established showing monotone convergence in the sense of relative entropy. The purpose of The Annals of Probability is to publish contributions to ...
