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

Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the interplay ...

The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or, ...

New research shows that the second law of thermodynamics, which states entropy increases over time, also applies to closed ...

Statistical physics and thermodynamics provide a framework for relating the behaviour of microscopic particles to the macroscopic properties of a system. Thermodynamics casts these macroscopic ...

Sketch of Thermodynamics. By P. G. Tait,, formerly Fellow of St. Peter's College, Cambridge, Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh. Second Edition, revised and extended.

Scientists presented a minimal heat engine model that can attain Carnot efficiency while achieving maximum power output.

The grandfather paradox is just one of the thorny logical problems that arise with the concept of time travel. But one physicist says he has resolved them.

These findings provide further insights into the mysterious relationship between the quantum world and thermodynamics. While the role of entropy is evident in the classical world, ...

Examples of complex phenomena include economies, ecosystems and societies as well as the global climate. These types of systems are often addressed with the tools of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. It ...

Physicists and computer scientists have been trying to connect thermodynamics and computation for more than a century. The ...
