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

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers have made a breakthrough in applying the first law of thermodynamics to complex systems. The law is a bedrock of physics, but has long ...

Researchers just found a new way to get an object to absolute zero. We’ve known that it could be done with infinite time or infinite energy, but the team just discovered that it can also be done if ...
