Master the concept of internal energy with ease in MI Physics Lecture Chapter 7! This video breaks down the fundamentals of internal energy, helping you understand how energy is stored and transferred ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

As with many branches of physics and engineering, a common point of debate and research is: Under what conditions do the classical laws and theories of physics break down and quantum theories are ...

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 ...

Thermodynamics and statistical physics provide a unified framework linking the macroscopic laws of energy, work, and entropy to the microscopic motions of particles. Thermodynamics, rooted in the laws ...

What do we do now?

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

The likelihood of seeing quantum systems violating the second law of thermodynamics has been calculated by UCL scientists. "The vast majority of the time, the second law of thermodynamics is obeyed.

Ensuring that different clocks are giving the same time is crucial to enable electronic systems to talk to each other. But what is the cost of this synchronisation at the thermodynamic level? To ...
