Thanks to the power of fluctuation relations, physicists are taking the second law of thermodynamics to settings once thought impossible. Since the steam engine began modernizing the world, the second ...

A new computational method allows modern atomic models to learn from experimental thermodynamic data, according to a University of Michigan Engineering and Université Paris-Saclay study published in ...

Today we are delving into an experiment that is a study in Thermodynamics which is defined as the branch of physical science that deals with the relations between heat and other forms of energy (such ...

Thermodynamics provides insight into the internal energy of a system and the energy interaction with its surroundings. This relies on the local thermal equilibrium of a system. A challenging topic of ...

From Google Colab coding notebooks to immersive VR and virtual labs, technology is reshaping how students grasp thermodynamics. These tools turn abstract equations and energy concepts into interactive ...

Why is important to study the thermodynamics of D-Wave quantum processors? Michele Campisi: Quantum technology has just entered the “noisy intermediate-scale quantum” (NISQ) era. This is characterized ...

The rules of statistical physics address the uncertainty about the state of a system that arises when that system interacts with its environment. But they've long missed another kind. In a new paper, ...

Since the end of the 19th century, physicists have known that the transfer of energy from one body to another is associated with entropy. It quickly became clear that this quantity is of fundamental ...
