Inequality in the way nations consume energy has been lessening in recent years. An underlying thermodynamic process seems to be at work. The 18th century writer Adam Smith provided a workable ...

A new study published in Nature Physicsreveals a significant breakthrough in quantum timekeeping, challenging a long-held assumption about the link between energy consumption and clock accuracy.

The 18th century writer Adam Smith provided a workable metaphor for the way society utilizes resources. In his book "The Wealth of Nations," he argued that even as individuals strive, through personal ...

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 ...

Recent studies have revealed that within cells of both yeast and bacteria, the rates of diffusion of RNA proteins - complex molecules that convey important information throughout the cell - are ...

Area laws for entanglement in quantum many-body systems give useful information about their low-temperature behaviour and are tightly connected to the possibility of good numerical simulations. An ...

I agree wholeheartedly with Jim Greaves (letter to editor, Dec. 5). Our situation is dire and in my opinion, our country is irreparably broken and the mess we all find ourselves in has been a long ...

This paper discusses the application of information-theoretic concepts to the backward filtering of time series using moving averages. We identify moving averages as time-dependent expectation values ...

My previous letter to the editor (“Problems keep piling up in the U.S.,” Dec. 13) was edited for too many words, and what was printed is not the complete story. Here is where it left off and here is ...
