Information theory provides a mathematical framework for quantifying information and uncertainty, forming the backbone of modern communication, signal processing, and data analysis. Central to this ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the laws governing the very small with those that describe the vast cosmos. Quantum mechanics rules subatomic particles, while general relativity ...

The identities or bounds that relate information measures (e.g., the entropy and mutual information) and estimation measures (e.g., the minimum means square error ...

If true (and it’s a pretty big “if”), Vopson’s new gravitational study would shake the foundations of the currently accepted view of the universe. In his paper, Vopson writes that his new work could ...

Entropy in an expanding universe / Steven Frautschi -- Growth of order in the universe / David Layzer -- Parity violation and the origin of biomolecular chirality / Dilip Kondepudi -- Kinetic theory ...

A challenge in materials design is that in both natural and humanmade materials, volume sometimes decreases, or increases, with increasing temperature. While there are mechanical explanations for this ...
