In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the interplay between quantum theory and thermodynamics.

The second law of thermodynamics underpins all of classical reality. It is the reason why it's easier to make things messy, why you can’t have perpetual motion, why you age, and maybe even why time ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

A 19th-century thought experiment, considered for decades to break the laws of thermodynamics, has been brought to life inside a quantum computer and used to charge a quantum battery. Physicist James ...

UNDATED (WKRC) - A team of scientists claimed they developed a engine that does not use coal or oil but instead utilizes quantum entanglement. "Quantum" has become a sort of buzzword in science, and ...

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists have discovered a novel approach to detecting the quantum properties of a system by simply using heat as a witness, requiring no direct ...
