Since their discovery at Drexel University in 2011, MXenes — a family of nanomaterials with unique properties of durability, conductivity and filtration, among many others — has become the largest ...

A review finds that high-entropy hydrogen-storage alloys offer a tunable trade-off between capacity, speed and reversibility, ...

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 in Sweden, and ...

If you have a deep-seated, nagging worry over dropping your phone in molten lava, you're in luck. Materials scientists have developed a method for rapidly discovering a new class of materials with ...

Experiments reveal the surprisingly large amount of entropy—and thus heat—generated by a clock that could be part of a quantum processor. Entropy generator. Any timekeeping device, such as an ...

Researchers combined synchrotron diffraction, high-pressure calorimetry and molecular dynamics to reveal how pentaglycerine's ...

Entropy is one of the most useful concepts in science but also one of the most confusing. This article serves as a brief introduction to the various types of entropy that can be used to quantify the ...
