One of the most fundamental ideas in physics is that the disorder of the universe, also known as entropy, is constantly increasing. But, life’s inherent chemical makeup has been hacking the disorder ...

Mind = blown.

Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold ...

New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but by increasing molecular disorder once ions form. The reaction becomes entropy-driven—exactly the ...

A jewellery chain, like everything else in the universe, is subject to the second law of thermodynamics, explains one reader ...

A new study identifies how water becomes ionized under electrochemical conditions. Hydrogen is expected to play a major role ...

Hydrogen is widely seen as a key energy source for the future, which makes it critical to understand how water is split during electrolysis ...
