In the tug-of-war between order and chaos within multielemental carbides, entropy eventually claims victory over enthalpy by pushing the system toward complete disorder as the diversity of elements in ...

But a recent discovery by a multi-university collaboration of researchers, led by Drexel University researcher Yury Gogotsi, PhD, and Drexel alumnus Babak Anasori, PhD, who is now an associate ...

In biophysics, the kinetic states of molecules play a determining role in the metabolic and physiological processes in which they take part. Now, a new article specifies for the first time the levels ...

New thermal measurement system shows heat causes 37% of battery degradation and 27% higher cardiovascular strain.

Physicists have upended a foundational law of materials science by heating gold to over 19,000°C — more than 14 times its melting point — while it remained perfectly solid. The study, published in ...

In the world of metals, it has long been considered common knowledge that achieving both strength and ductility (the ability to stretch without breaking) at the same time is nearly impossible. When a ...

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 ...

The energy-influx/entropy-influx relation in the Green—Naghdi Type III theory of heat conduction is examined within a thermodynamical framework à la Müller—Liu ...
