Kaniadakis statistics represents a significant extension of classical statistical mechanics. At its core is the concept of a κ-deformation, which generalises the traditional Boltzmann–Gibbs framework ...

Exactly 200 years ago, a French engineer introduced an idea that would quantify the universe’s inexorable slide into decay. But entropy, as it’s currently understood, is less a fact about the world ...

For the romantics among us, physicist Haroldo Ribeiro’s recent work might seem prosaic. He has developed a computer program that deconstructs works of art into sets of numbers. Now Ribeiro has applied ...

Entropy also increases in initially ordered quantum systems until it reaches a final state of disorder. Entropy and the direction of time Equating 'entropy' with 'disorder' is not entirely correct.
