Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does ...
Researchers at the Federal University of ABC, in Brazil, have made a major breakthrough: they've confirmed that thermodynamic processes cannot be reversed, even in a quantum system. This revelation ...
In biophysics, the kinetic states of molecules play a determining role in the metabolic and physiological processes in which they take part. Now, a new article specifies for the first time the levels ...
The work, reported in Nature Photonics, introduces a new way of routing light in nonlinear systems—meaning systems that do not require switches, external control, or digital addressing. Instead, light ...
The first law of thermodynamics is one of the bedrock laws of physics. Even if you’re not gung-ho for physics research, you might have heard the simplified version: energy can neither be created nor ...

COMBUSTION was found to be approximately 81% effective in five different explosions which were recorded by means of high-speed motion pictures and pressure cards while running the engine on iso-octane ...
