Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, ...

Scientists have built the world’s smallest engine. It consists of a single microscopic particle, smaller than a human cell, ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does ...

USC engineers have developed an optical system that routes light autonomously using thermodynamic principles. Rather than ...

Scientists have created the world's hottest engine running at temperatures hotter than those reached in the sun's core. The ...

Impressively, the world's hottest engine could alter our understanding of thermodynamics as well as human diseases.

Technically speaking, an engine is a device that converts some form of energy into mechanical energy. Taking that definition ...

At an effective temperature of 13 million kelvins, the jiggling glass sphere could help scientists understand physics at the microscale.

Researchers channeled the strange rules of microscopic physics and created the high-performance engine, which also happens to be the smallest ever made.For that purpose, they describe a tiny ...
