Quantum fridges, batteries and clocks are brilliant inventions but still limited in power. Now physicist Nicole Yunger ...

The transport of dense gases and liquids is becoming increasingly relevant in relation to carbon capture. Research published ...

Quantum systems may defy classical time irreversibility, revealing bidirectional entropy flow and prompting a reevaluation of ...

Phase transitions, like water freezing into ice, are a familiar part of our world. But in quantum systems, they can behave ...

I would venture a guess that many people in the United States have more than one thermos in a cabinet that boasts about its ...

David Zwicker discusses the delicate balance between entropy and enthalpy that determines whether fluids comprising many components mix or phase separate.

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

Evolution cannot explain biological complexity without violating some fundamental laws of nature, specifically, the Second ...

The study proposes connecting thermodynamics with quantum information theory, drawing inspiration from the concept of Maxwell's demon. The concept proposed in the 19th century involves an imaginary ...
