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

Though a cornerstone of thermodynamics, entropy remains one of the most vexing concepts to teach budding physicists in the classroom. Physics teachers designed a hand-held model to demonstrate the ...

In 1961 Rolf Landauer linked information and thermodynamic entropy by showing that erasing or combining bits of memory must be accompanied by an increase in entropy. For the first time since then, a ...

Since the end of the 19th century, physicists know that the transfer of energy from one body to another is associated with entropy. Due to its fundamental importance began its rise as a useful ...

Entropy, introduced by Rudolf Clausius in 1865, is a way to quantify the amount of energy dispersion within a system. It reflects how energy, whether thermal or chemical, becomes more scattered ...

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 ...

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.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract ABSTRACT Vertical heat transport through thermal convection of the earth’s atmosphere is investigated from a thermodynamic viewpoint. The ...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6, 2023 – Though a cornerstone of thermodynamics, entropy remains one of the most vexing concepts to teach budding physicists in the classroom. As a result, many people oversimplify ...
