Pity the poor thermodynamics student of the future. As difficult as thermo can be for budding engineers to learn, it is going to get a lot more complicated if a recently published theory is true.

Anyone trying to circumvent the physical laws governing heat is going to get burned. A new experiment reveals how a device that robs a closed system of heat to make it more orderly, an action ...

Explore the implications of Maxwell's Demon and its connection to information theory. This thought experiment demonstrates the possibility of reducing entropy, challenging traditional concepts in ...

Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, challenging long-held principles of entropy and energy dissipation in microscopic ...
