Entropy, however, is an enigma, in part because of the common view that it represents disorder. That view is flawed and hides entropy's connection with energy. In fact, macroscopic matter stores \u003ci\u003einternal energy\u003c\/i\u003e, and that matter's entropy is determined by \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e the energy is stored. Energy and entropy are intimately linked.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnergy and Entropy: A Dynamic Duo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eilluminates connections between energy and entropy for students, teachers, and researchers.
