ENTROPY PRINCIPLE: DS ≥ 0 – Tuesday, 6th June 2023 – Seminar by Rinaldo Rui and Tommaso Luzzati

150 years from its first formulation, Entropy is still object of discussion. What is Entropy? Is it a measure of useful Energy? An amount of "order"/"disorder"? A probabilistic concept? We know for sure that in order to reduce their impact on the environment, we must try to make all transformations in a reversible way. It means to produce items that must be totally reciclable. But since reversibility in nature is impossible, then we are left with only one option: try to minimize such impact.
