En aquest breu article de síntesi, exposem tres aspectes de les relacions entre termodinàmica i vida: la segona llei de la termodinàmica i la definició de la vida; l’entropia i les estratègies de la vida; la temperatura i els límits de la vida. Entre altres temes concrets, tractem estats de no-equilibri, estructures dissipatives, conflictes entre eficiència i potència, atmosferes planetàries, organismes termofílics o criopreservació.In this short panoramic paper, we deal with three aspects of the relations between thermodynamics and life: the second law of thermodynamics and the definition of life; entropy and the strategies of life; and temperature and the l...
