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 ...

Scientists have developed an efficient technique to create customized high-entropy alloys - exceptionally strong, resilient ...

A novel nanosheet developed at Berkeley Lab promises to advance sustainable manufacturing and extend product shelf life. The material, overcoming traditional stacking defects, enables a versatile ...
