Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

Open crystalline configurations self-assembled from colloids with sticky patches have recently been shown to be unexpectedly stable. A theory that accounts for the entropy of the colloids' thermal ...

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

Engineers have spent decades trying to build metals that do not snap, melt, or grind away under extreme conditions, and for a ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

The second law of thermodynamics is one of those puzzling laws of nature that simply emerges from the fundamental rules. It says that entropy, a measure of disorder in the Universe, must always ...

Exactly 200 years ago, a French engineer introduced an idea that would quantify the universe’s inexorable slide into decay. But entropy, as it’s currently understood, is less a fact about the world ...

The "Discoverative" Ecosystem: Leveraging his decades of experience and research insights, Mr. Chen is now building a closed-loop ecosystem based on his philosophy of "Discoverative Intelligence" ...
