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

In nature, the behavior of systems—whether large or small—is always governed by a few fundamental principles. For instance, objects fall downward because it minimizes their energy. At the same time, ...

Quantum thermodynamics has emerged as an innovative field that integrates the principles of quantum mechanics with classical thermodynamic concepts to describe systems beyond equilibrium. Central to ...

The University of Seville professor José María Martín-Olalla has published an article in which he solves a problem that arose 120 years ago in the field of thermodynamics. In doing so, he has ...
