Thermodynamic spontaneity—whether a reaction can go—can be measured by changes in either of two parameters: entropy or free energy.

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at ...

Two clashing ideas about disorder inside black holes now point to the same strange conclusions, and it could reshape the ...

A collaborative research team from the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the ...
