The second law of thermodynamics delineates an asymmetry in how physical systems evolve over time, known as the arrow of time. In macroscopic systems, this asymmetry has a clear direction (e.g., one can easily notice if ...
A human research team and a machine learning algorithm have found that we need to rethink much of what we know about iridium oxide.
