In information theory, entropy is a measurement of the information density. It describes, for instance, how much memory capacity a given set of data would take up when compressed optimally.

Physicists have employed a version of Maxwell's demon to reduce entropy in a three-dimensional ... thus performing the function of a "Maxwell's demon" -- a thought experiment from the 1870s ...

Using his previously formulated Second Law of Infodynamics, Vopson claims that the decrease of entropy in information systems over time could prove that the universe has a built-in “data ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true ... which finds the maximum and minimum of a function. Waves, which are one of the two quantum states, are ...

The connection between gravity and entropy ... observational data and exploring its implications for black hole thermodynamics, early universe cosmology, and quantum information science.

Today’s most advanced clocks keep time with an incredibly precise rhythm. But a new experiment suggests that clocks’ precision comes at a price: entropy. Entropy, or disorder, is created each ...
