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

Recently, a team of researchers made headlines for a stunning announcement: a theoretical breakthrough that expanded our understanding of the first law of thermodynamics. But to understand that result ...

In the strange, often unintuitive world of quantum physics, one mystery has stood out for decades: Can quantum entanglement be manipulated in a reversible way, like energy in a perfect heat engine?

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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Timekeeping has evolved greatly during humanity’s short time on Earth, and that legacy of metrological innovation is far from over. A new study from ...

Significant and immediate worldwide carbon dioxide emissions reductions are necessary to avoid the worst effects of global climate change, scientists say. However, a claim has been circulating online ...
