We are used to heat flowing from hot objects to cool ones, and never the other way round, but now researchers have found it is possible to pull off this trick in the strange realm of quantum mechanics ...
As with many branches of physics and engineering, a common point of debate and research is: Under what conditions do the classical laws and theories of physics break down and quantum theories are ...
But today, especially with regard to modern technical applications of quantum physics, we are often faced with the challenge of describing quantum systems that consist of many particles. "To describe ...
Have you ever heard of a Perpetual Motion Machine? More to the point, have you ever heard of why Perpetual Motion Machines are impossible? One of the reasons is because of the first law of ...

A Massachusetts Student Accidentally Broke the Laws of Thermodynamics—and No One Can Explain How
In a surprising twist from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, a team of physicists has discovered a novel liquid behavior that seems to challenge fundamental principles of thermodynamics. The ...
A great number of scientific papers and publications come out of the Aspen Center for Physics, but none quite like Assa Auerbach’s latest. The Israeli physicist’s new graphic novel, “Max the Demon vs.
