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 ...

Statistical mechanics provides the framework for deriving macroscopic thermodynamic properties from the microscopic characteristics of matter. Central to this discipline is the concept of entropy, ...

Entropy is surely one of the most intriguing and misunderstood concepts in all of physics. The entropy of the universe must always increase – so says the second law of thermodynamics. It’s a law that ...

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 ...

Physicists have spent a century trying to reconcile the smooth fabric of spacetime in general relativity with the jittery quantum fields that govern particles, and gravity has stubbornly resisted ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth space-time with the jittery world of quantum mechanics. A new wave of ...
