What are the physics of life? That is more than just a philosophical question—it has practical implications for our search ...

Thermodynamics was built to describe steam engines and stars, yet the same equations now sit at the heart of quantum ...

Constructing out-of-equilibrium molecular assemblies that deviate from thermodynamic equilibrium is a central challenge in materials science. While numerous studies have reported the creation of such ...

Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, ...

Out-of-equilibrium states that deviate from thermodynamic equilibrium are crucial not only for biological systems but also ...

Education barely registered in this year’s mayoral race, but the nation’s largest school system will now be the crucible for ...

Dr Sumedha Kotwal When we look deeply into matter, the solidity of the world begins to dissolve. What appears hard, tangible, ...

ABSTRACT: We investigate a representation of thermodynamic equations-of-state for water and steam using only physical constants and zero ad hoc parameters. Following the reported phase equilibria of a ...

Heat exchangers using thermosyphons have been used for decades in various applications in the aeronautical, military, nuclear ...

The laws of thermodynamics don't accurately account for the complex processes in living cells – do we need a new one to ...

Researchers have devised a new way to define thermodynamic concepts in microscopic quantum systems, where conventional distinctions between heat and work begin to blur. Researchers at the University o ...
