Entropy production lies at the heart of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, a field that examines systems away from equilibrium where continuous energy flows and irreversible processes dominate. In such ...

IN a recent paper, DeGroot and Tolhoek 1 have attempted, by means of an application of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes, to extend Guggenheim's 2 ideas concerning the activities of ions ...

In 1961 Rolf Landauer linked information and thermodynamic entropy by showing that erasing or combining bits of memory must be accompanied by an increase in entropy. For the first time since then, a ...
