Trapped in an electric field, it shows bizarre thermodynamics at microscopic scales, offering insights into natural molecular ...
At an effective temperature of 13 million kelvins, the jiggling glass sphere could help scientists understand physics at the microscale.
Heat has always been something we thought we understood. From baking bread to running engines, the idea seemed simple: heat spreads out smoothly, like water soaking through a sponge. That simple ...
According to the researchers, Carnot determined the maximum efficiency of heat engines. He developed his principle, the ...
Quantum thermodynamics explores the fundamental principles governing energy conversion at the smallest scales, where quantum effects such as coherence and entanglement significantly influence the ...
We got a sneak peek inside Found Energy’s lab, just as it gears up to supply heat and hydrogen to its first customer.
Over on his YouTube channel [Tom Stanton] shows us how to build a Stirling Engine for a bike. A Stirling Engine is a heat engine, powered by the expansion and contraction of a working fluid (such as ...
New research reveals that Earth’s continents owe their stability to searing heat deep in the planet’s crust. At more than ...
