Today we are delving into an experiment that is a study in Thermodynamics which is defined as the branch of physical science that deals with the relations between heat and other forms of energy (such ...

In classical physics, anything driven hard enough will eventually heat up, lose coherence, and settle into disorder. A new ...

For two centuries, students have learned that heat flows and engines work according to rigid limits that no machine can beat.

In particular, the scientists studied how a DNA double helix unzips when translocated at high velocity through a nanopore, reconstructing fundamental DNA thermodynamic properties from the sole speed ...

The diagram illustrates the interplay among data acquisition, machine learning, and experiment synthesis. Physical models such as thermodynamics and kinetics can be integrated into ML models as expert ...

A 155-year-old thought experiment, long thought to break the laws of thermodynamics, could be made real on a large scale. Maxwell’s demon is a thought experiment first proposed by Scottish ...

Thanks to the power of fluctuation relations, physicists are taking the second law of thermodynamics to settings once thought impossible. Since the steam engine began modernizing the world, the second ...

(Nanowerk News) The equations that describe physical systems often assume that measurable features of the system — temperature or chemical potential, for example — can be known exactly. But the real ...
