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

This cover design visually encapsulates the central themes of the research paper by merging symbolic representations of both computational systems and stochastic thermodynamics. A computer chip serves ...

Sebastian Deffner at UMBC and Anthony Bartolotta at Caltech have developed the first techniques for describing the thermodynamics of very small systems with very high energy--like the universe at the ...

Scientists have created the world's hottest engine running at temperatures hotter than those reached in the sun's core. The team from King's College London and collaborators believe their platform ...

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

Direct-injection spark-ignition (DISI) engines have been investigated for many years but only recently have shown promise as a next generation gasoline engine technology. Much of this new enthusiasm ...

Scientists have developed the first techniques for describing the thermodynamics of very small systems with very high energy -- like the universe at the start of the Big Bang -- which could lead to a ...
