What Is Temperature? A Statistical Mechanics Perspective

Temperature, a familiar sensation, is actually a statistical measure of the average kinetic energy of atoms and molecules, explained by statistical mechanics, which also links to pressure, Maxwell‑Boltzmann distribution, and finds applications ranging from gas behavior to social dynamics and machine‑learning models like Boltzmann machines.

Why Entropy Always Increases: Understanding the Second Law of Thermodynamics

The article explains the entropy increase law (the second law of thermodynamics), illustrating how isolated systems become more disordered, why heat flows from hot to cold, and how everyday examples like cooling coffee or refrigerators demonstrate local order at the cost of greater overall disorder.
