Since the end of the 19th century, physicists know that the transfer of energy from one body to another is associated with entropy. Due to its fundamental importance began its rise as a useful theoretical quantity in physics, chemistry and engineering. However, it is very difficult to measure. Physicists have now measured entropy in complex plasmas: In a system of charged microparticles they could measure all their positions and velocities simultaneously.
