Erasing data perfectly and attaining the lowest possible temperature may appear unrelated, but they share a strong connection. Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a…
Physicists at West Virginia University have overcome a long-standing limitation of the first law of thermodynamics. Paul Cassak, a professor and associate director of the…
A new study at TU Wien has revealed how chaos theory connects quantum theory and thermodynamics, two seemingly separate areas of physics. A single particle…
A challenge in materials design is that in both natural and manmade materials, volume sometimes decreases, or increases, with increasing temperature. While there are mechanical…
Driving systems out of equilibrium with electric fields proves useful for creating liquid shapes that are nearly impossible to find in nature. When two substances…
Researchers at the Universities Vienna and Stuttgart have investigated a version of Maxwell’s demon embodied by a delayed feedback force acting on a levitated microparticle….
The thermodynamic properties of compounds such as aluminum oxide, which are known as refractory materials because they melt at temperatures above 2,000 degrees Celsius (3,632…
New research from MIT reveals that ancient Earth harbored higher mantle temperatures, which were much more efficient at drawing down pieces of the planet’s crust….
In a newly published study, an international team of researchers detail how they discovered that a nanoparticle trapped with laser light temporarily violates the second…
A newly published study reveals that the Third Law of Thermodynamics can be restored in thin films of the magnetic material spin ice. Thin films…
Researchers from Monash University have developed a liquid-based thermocell that could harvest waste heat and convert it into electricity with no carbon emissions. Harvesting waste…
Scientists from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have constructed a micro-structured thermal cloak that molds the flow of heat around an object. By means of…
