Time crystals exhibit perpetual motion-like behavior when separated from external energy input, but scientists found a way to ...

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

Scientists have built the world’s smallest engine. It consists of a single microscopic particle, smaller than a human cell, ...

At an effective temperature of 13 million kelvins, the jiggling glass sphere could help scientists understand physics at the microscale.

Researchers channeled the strange rules of microscopic physics and created the high-performance engine, which also happens to be the smallest ever made.For that purpose, they describe a tiny ...

Impressively, the world's hottest engine could alter our understanding of thermodynamics as well as human diseases.

Instead of relying on switches or digital control, the light finds its own path through the system. This approach could transform data transmission, computing, and communications by making optical ...

Technically speaking, an engine is a device that converts some form of energy into mechanical energy. Taking that definition ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does ...
