Theorists have proposed a variety of additional constraints to lift the energy of floppy modes, principally attractive ‘glue’ points or interactions beyond nearest neighbours 1,2,3,4, but it has been ...

High-entropy materials (HEMs) are considered one of the most promising multifunctional electrocatalysts due to their tunable composition, electronic structure, and excellent stability. However, a ...

Entropy, the amount of molecular disorder, is produced in several systems but cannot be measured directly. An equation developed by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and Heinrich Heine ...

Abstract: We point out that two problems of observational cosmology, namely the facts (i) that ≳60 per cent of the baryonic content of the Universe is not observed at z∼ 0 and (ii) that the properties ...

A long-standing challenge in statistical mechanics has been to quantify the nonequilibrium nature of active systems such as swarming bacteria, schooling fish, and flocking birds. The entropy ...
