Researchers have discovered a method to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits in converting waste heat into electricity.

The first law of thermodynamics is one of the bedrock laws of physics. Even if you’re not gung-ho for physics research, you might have heard the simplified version: energy can neither be created nor ...

A team of researchers at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at USC has created a new ...

Harnessing quantum states that avoid thermalization enables energy harvesters to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits ...

With her students exploring the concepts of how energy behaves in the universe, Heather Walker took the opportunity to introduce her class to the top-of-the-line machinery that is putting this study ...

Thermodynamic properties play a central role in understanding electrochemical systems, offering insights into the energy exchanges and phase equilibria governing material behaviour. Advances in ...
