Entropy is an intrinsic property of matter and its constituents (atoms and molecules) and it has several definitions and meanings. It was first postulated by German physicist Rudolf Clausius in the ...

In quantum mechanics, particles have a new type of probabilistic property, which is quantum wave probability. Corresponding to this new probability, the particle has the property of quantum wave ...

The defensive interval ratio (DIR) is a financial metric that can help investors assess a company's ability to meet its short-term operating expenses using its liquid assets. Also known as the basic ...

We work in solid mechanics are new to the use of REFPROP; we are using it to develop models of fracture of pipelines conveying CO2 and trying to understand some of the basics of the thermodynamics.

We finally understand how black holes get their entropy. Physicists have been struggling to figure this out since the early 1970s, when Stephen Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein calculated how much entropy ...

High-entropy ceramics can be transformative for several applications, but the development of this class of materials is limited by costly and time-consuming experimental processes. The disordered ...
