Enthalpy-entropy compensation describes a systematic linear correlation between changes in activation enthalpy (ΔH‡) and activation entropy (ΔS‡) observed across series of related chemical reactions.

Since their discovery at Drexel University in 2011, MXenes — a family of nanomaterials with unique properties of durability, conductivity and filtration, among many others — has become the largest ...

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 ...

Entropy, the amount of molecular disorder, is produced in several systems but cannot be measured directly. A new equation sheds new light on how entropy is produced on a very short time scale in laser ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between life and entropy, discussing how low entropy life can exist amidst increasing entropy as described by the second law of thermodynamics. We cover how ...

Entropy is one of the most useful concepts in science but also one of the most confusing. This article serves as a brief introduction to the various types of entropy that can be used to quantify the ...
