High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are promising materials for catalysis and energy storage, and at the same time they are extremely hard, heat resistant and demonstrate great variability in their magnetic ...

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 ...

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

If you could see inside a dying star — and if your eyes were tuned to perceive that ephemeral property of the universe called entropy — this might be what you would see. Entropy is one way physicists ...

In nature, the behavior of systems—whether large or small—is always governed by a few fundamental principles. For instance, objects fall downward because it minimizes their energy. At the same time, ...

This commentary is by Dan Young of Hyde Park, author of "Restoring Climate Stability by Managing Ecological Disorder," a book analyzing the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of climate change. It’s time ...

High entropy alloys or HEAs consist of five or more different metallic elements and are an extremely interesting class of materials with a great diversity of potential applications (see interview ...
