    Public for the science

Entropy of Radiation is an educational project for the general public and scientists, created to explain the history, development and uses of the second law of thermodynamics applied to radiation.

Besides this website, the project includes other interactive features such as a Blog, Forum, Newsletter, Quizzes and Free Software.
