For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the ...

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 ...

Picture Victorian London, but its skies are filled with airships. Steam-powered robots crowd the streets, mingling with people in top hats and petticoats. That type of retrofuturistic mash-up is the ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

This groundbreaking study in Advanced Science introduces a practical, non-passive way to manipulate thermal signatures.

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly ...
