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 ...

Entropy, a measure of the molecular disorder or randomness of a system, is critical to understanding a system’s physical composition. In complex physical systems, the interaction of internal elements ...

"Entropy quantifies the number of possible microstates of a system. In the context of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics, this entropy is extensive, i.e., it grows proportionally to the size of the ...
