Entropy can be measured experimentally using calorimetric methods.
Calorimetric measurements, such as heat capacity determinations via differential scanning calorimetry, are widely used to experimentally calculate entropy changes in chemical and physical systems.
The retrieved papers provide multiple direct examples where calorimetric techniques (such as heat capacity and differential scanning calorimetry) are used to measure and calculate entropy changes in various materials and biological systems.
