Nernst's theorem—a general experimental observation presented in 1905 that entropy exchanges tend to zero when the ...

A novel suggestion that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution.

It all stems from Nernst's theorem, also known as the third law of thermodynamics, an experimental observation from 1905 ...

The paper argues that the third principle of thermodynamics follows from the second principle, rather than being a separate or independent concept. Professor José María Martín-Olalla of the University ...

Nature Physics - The law-abiding Universe. Some physicists see this as the primary explanation of how entropy has increased even as the Universe seems to have developed more order.
