The organisers say the event will spotlight four notable writers: Maaza Mengiste (Ethiopia), Madeleine Thien (Canada), Todd Moss (America) and Helon Habila (Nigeria).

Keeping Time on Entropy’s Dime May 6, 2021• Physics 14, s54 An experiment with a nanoscale clock verifies that a clock’s entropy per tick increases as the clock is made more precise. banusevim/stock.adobe.com × Entropy generally increases with each tick of time, so it is natural that a timekeeping device produces an uptick in entropy as it runs. Building on previous work with quantum clocks, researchers now show that a simple classical clock—whose ticks are the vibrations of a heat-driven, nanometer-thick membrane—generates more entropy as its precision is increased [1]. Th...
