Two systems exist in thermal equilibrium if no heat passes between them. Computers, which consume energy and give off heat as ...

A new study shows entanglement can be reversed—if you plug in a quantum battery. The finding rewrites the rules of the quantum world.

Scientists have finally uncovered a quantum counterpart to Carnot’s famed second law, showing that entanglement—once thought ...

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 ...

Universal validity of the second law of information thermodynamics. arXiv: 2308.15558. Posted August 23, 2023. S. Wolfram. Computational foundations for the second law of thermodynamics. February ...

For now, this technical skirting of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is only theoretical. However, the authors note that this idea could be tested using modern superconducting circuits. If the ...

The first law of thermodynamics is undergoing a huge renovation. A team lead by researchers at West Virginia University just released a paper detailing how the fundamental law can be applied more ...

The laws of thermodynamics haunt dreams of a circular economy. It is not possible to recycle energy continually without a loss in its quality or density. That’s the second law of thermodynamics ...

While trying to connect quantum thermodynamics and non-Markovian dynamics, the researchers realized that there is more than one way of extracting work from general quantum processes.

Thermodynamics engineers use their knowledge of thermodynamics to help develop, construct, and test products. A thermodynamic engineer can work in many different engineering fields.
