Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, ...

Normal Computing has announced its successful tape-out of the world's first thermodynamic computing chip, called CN101. Designed for AI/HPC data centers, the ASIC is a step away from traditional ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does ...

A great number of scientific papers and publications come out of the Aspen Center for Physics, but none quite like Assa Auerbach’s latest. The Israeli physicist’s new graphic novel, “Max the Demon vs.

Have you ever heard of a Perpetual Motion Machine? More to the point, have you ever heard of why Perpetual Motion Machines are impossible? One of the reasons is because of the first law of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers have made a breakthrough in applying the first law of thermodynamics to complex systems. The law is a bedrock of physics, but has long ...

Thermodynamics and statistical physics provide a unified framework linking the macroscopic laws of energy, work, and entropy to the microscopic motions of particles. Thermodynamics, rooted in the laws ...

UNLIKE quantum or particle physics, thermodynamics rarely makes headlines, yet it is crucial for understanding how life arose and how the universe containing that life will end. This is at the heart ...
