Entropy is the measure of the disorder in a system that occurs over a period of time with no energy put into restoring the order. Zentropy integrates entropy at multiscale levels. Credit: Elizabeth ...

A new study proposes a radically simple and efficient way of calculating the complex physical quantity known as entropy -- and it probably exists on your own computer. Entropy, a measure of the ...

When you might be the last human left and the only way to salvage that situation is to solve complex puzzles, there’s really only one path forward isn’t there? Even if that path moves back and forth ...

Cosmologists have spent decades striving to understand why our universe is so stunningly vanilla. Not only is it smooth and flat as far as we can see, but it’s also expanding at an ever-so-slowly ...

Entropy Minimization is a new clustering algorithm that works with both categorical and numeric data, and scales well to extremely large data sets. Data clustering is the process of placing data items ...

A challenge in materials design is that in both natural and humanmade materials, volume sometimes decreases, or increases, with increasing temperature. While there are mechanical explanations for this ...
