Researchers trying to herd tiny particles into useful ordered formations have found an unlikely ally: Entropy, a tendency generally described as "disorder." Researchers trying to herd tiny particles ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

You would think that shaking up a box with a couple of chains inside would end in sadness and a bunch of knotted chains, but as you can see in this video, it doesn’t always work out like that. These ...

In this paper, we introduce a quantile version of past entropy for order statistics and study some of its properties. It is shown that this measure uniquely determine the quantile function. Two ...
