This is the first in the two-course sequence offered at ESF. This course starts by delving deeper into the Ideal Gas Law and non-ideal gases, then uses gas in a piston to develop an understanding of ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

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 failed to describe systems that are out of ...
