An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

The 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 time ...

For over a century, the Maxwell’s Demon paradox has haunted physics. This thought experiment suggests that a tiny, ...

Researchers in Korea have developed a technology that automatically identifies the necessary precursor materials to ...

A paper titled "Universality of the thermodynamics of a quantum-mechanically ... and Associate Professor in the Department of Nanoscale Science & Engineering at the University at Albany), exploits ...

In simpler terms, the second law of thermodynamics means that things naturally tend to become more disordered over time.

Drug discovery is a costly and time-intensive process, with binding free energy calculations between the potential drug ...

The course deals with the thermodynamic and kinetic basis of phase equilibria and phase transformations in materials science. In particular computational modeling by means of the CALPHAD method is ...

If that doesn’t sound like Bitcoin, I don’t know what does… The agenda also states: “The thermodynamics of computation is a long-standing interest in the physics, computer science, and biology ...
