In thermodynamics, adiabatic changes are those that do not increase the entropy.

- Information: (communication theory) a numerical measure of the uncertainty of an outcome; "the signal contained thousands of bits of information"
- Randomness: (thermodynamics) a thermodynamic quantity representing the amount of energy in a system that is no longer available for doing mechanical work; "entropy increases as matter and energy in the universe degrade to an ultimate state of inert uniformity"
- Entropy is a macroscopic property of a system that is a measure of the microscopic disorder within the system. It is an important part of the second law of thermodynamics. Thermodynamic systems are made up of microscopic objects, e.g. atoms or molecules, which "carry" energy. ...
- Entropy is a split vinyl album by Anathallo and Javelins. Each band has one song featured on the album, released in 2005 on Potential Getaway Driver.
- In anesthesiology, entropy is a neurophysiologic of the patient's cerebral cortical function, designed to express the likelihood of consciousness, intraoperative awareness, or awareness with recall during a surgical procedure.
- Entropy is a decentralized, peer-to-peer communication network designed to be resistant to censorship, much like Freenet. Entropy is an anonymous data store written in the C programming language. ...
- Arcwelder is an American indie rock band which formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1988. Originally named Tilt-A-Whirl, the group changed its name to Arcwelder after being informed by Sellner Manfacturing Co. of copyright infringement.
- Entropy is the only quantity in the physical sciences that "picks" a particular direction for time, sometimes called an arrow of time. As one goes "forward" in time, the second law of thermodynamics says, the entropy of an isolated system will increase when no extra energy is consumed. ...
- A measure of the unavailability of energy in a substance.
