The laws of thermodynamics state that heat naturally flows from hotter systems or regions to colder systems or regions until a state of thermal equilibrium is reached. This simple principle underpins ...
A tiny machine made from just an atom and particles of light may sound impossibly simple, but it raises a surprisingly ...
A tiny superconducting engine has successfully converted heat near absolute zero into useful work, demonstrating the first cyclic quantum heat engine of its kind. Future versions could operate ...
A tiny quantum machine can release light that is not simply wasted heat; some of that energy may still be useful for doing work. University of Basel physicists found that separating orderly, coherent ...
A study published in Physical Review Letters (PRL) details a "Gambling Carnot Engine" that researchers report can attain 100% efficiency while also improving power generation. The researchers present ...
What if the heat we normally throw away could become a new source of electricity? From car engines and factories to power plants and geothermal systems, the JTEC could transform even low-temperature ...
What is heat, and what is useful work if a machine consists only of an atom and light particles? In modern quantum technologies, this kind of question connects thermodynamics with quantum physics.
