Many philosophers and scientists have pondered if we live in a simulated universe, and University of Portsmouth scientist ...

The review bridges physics and biology by analyzing how stochastic thermodynamics—a framework describing energy exchanges in microscopic systems—helps explain limitations across diverse biological ...

A quick review of thermodynamics when designing systems for exhaust gas aftertreatment (EGAT) can have a long-lasting impact.

T he second law of thermodynamics underpins all of classical reality. It is the reason why it's easier to make things messy, why you can’t have perpetual motion, why you age, and maybe even why ...

It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or ...

Quantum fridges, batteries and clocks are brilliant inventions but still limited in power. Now physicist Nicole Yunger ...

The laws of thermodynamics describe the relationship of heat and other forms of energy. In this course, the following concepts are introduced: the definition of systems; the first and second laws of ...

In thermodynamics, entropy represents an inexorable march toward disorder. Left to its own devices, an isolated system inevitably slides toward maximum disorder: its energy dispersing, its useful ...

This diagram illustrates a slit pore system, relevant to the study of nanoscale thermodynamics. Fluid particles (black dots) are confined within a slit pore, adjacent to a pressure reservoir filled ...
