To be able to use elementary thermodynamics for creating concepts and materials is the epitome of imagination. Think about the entropy of mixing as not dealing with atom, but with particles that each contain billions of atoms. How might we calculate the microstructure of a non-equilibrium phase? All this and more is addressed in this lecture, ending with the physical meaning of chemical potential and its implications on the meaning of equilibrium.
