The Japanese collaborative team of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) and Osaka University presents a novel method for tuning hydrodynamic interfacial instability through a ...

Arguably, almost all truly intriguing systems are ones that are far away from equilibrium -- such as stars, planetary atmospheres, and even digital circuits. But, until now, systems far from thermal ...

Entropy production lies at the heart of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, a field that examines systems away from equilibrium where continuous energy flows and irreversible processes dominate. In such ...

Penn Engineers have developed a mathematical "Rosetta Stone" that translates atomic and molecular movements into predictions ...

The special composition question (SCQ), which asks under which conditions objects compose a further object, establishes a central debate in modern metaphysics. Recent successes of inductive ...

Since the end of the 19th century, physicists know that the transfer of energy from one body to another is associated with entropy. Due to its fundamental importance began its rise as a useful ...

Chaperones are specialized proteins in the cell that help other proteins to reach their functional 3D shapes, which correspond to the states preferred at thermodynamic equilibrium. But a new study ...

The Laws of Thermodynamics are the foundation of heat transfer and energy work. When any engineer is designing or implementing a system, the consideration of heat loss or energy produced is influenced ...
