Quantum thermodynamics explores the fundamental principles governing energy conversion at the smallest scales, where quantum effects such as coherence and entanglement significantly influence the ...

Research from The University of Manchester has thrown new light on the use of miniaturised ‘heat engines’ that could one day help power nanoscale machines like quantum computers. Heat engines are ...

BENGALURU: After years of struggle, a “micro heat engine”, that can produce maximum power at maximum efficiency, has been successfully designed by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the ...

Heat is animus. It was there at the birth of the universe, and its death will be the universe’s death. It is impossible to overstate its importance — both throughout human history and across modern ...
