Entropy of liquid Na: the present calculation (red) and experimental data (black). The entropy value is normalized by the gas constant R. T 1 denotes the melting temperature. Osaka, Japan - A ...

“A high school student used our concept to calculate the entropy of a complex physical system: the XY model,” says Professor Roy Beck. “Although this is considered a challenging problem with ...

New calculations suggest that the cosmos is more disorderly than thought and is a bit closer to heat death.

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.
