How entropy can actually create order

A science experiment explores how entropy, often linked to disorder, can sometimes lead to structured patterns and organized behavior under the right conditions.
The second law of thermodynamics is one of those puzzling laws of nature that simply emerges from the fundamental rules. It says that entropy, a measure of disorder in the Universe, must always ...
The distribution of harbour porpoises in EU waters is poorly understood, and modelled predictions of their distributions could inform the strategic spatial planning of future exploitation of the ...

Looking back a variety of distances corresponds to a variety of times since the Big Bang. Entropy has always increased from any moment to the next, but that doesn't mean that the Big Bang began with ...
