Scientists learned that reading a quantum clock requires orders of magnitude more energy than running it. This surprising imbalance reveals that observation itself shapes the flow and thermodynamics ...

A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping—the act of measurement itself. In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists ...

By Partha Sinha Kali is not a goddess carved in stone. She is the logic of decay wearing a garland of skulls. She is entropy, disguised as divinity. Where others promise salvation through order, ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect ...

The clock the team used to demonstrate this principle consists of a pair of quantum dots coupled by a thin tunnelling barrier ...

For as long as people have looked for answers in the night sky, the idea of stepping into a machine and arriving in an ...

Increasing the surface area when plasma and water interact could help scale up a technology that destroys contaminants such ...

In this video, we explore the fundamental ingredients of the universe, including 4D spacetime, particles with specific ...

MIT professor Asegun Henry's research focuses on high-efficiency energy storage, thermophotovoltaics, and thermal systems ...

Recently I had the privilege of delivering the inaugural talk for VitalScope, a new journal club at University of Karachi's Department of Physiology. The theme — "From Chaos to Comprehension: ...
