A study published in Physical Review Letters (PRL) details a "Gambling Carnot Engine" that researchers report can attain 100% ...

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

A great number of scientific papers and publications come out of the Aspen Center for Physics, but none quite like Assa Auerbach’s latest. The Israeli physicist’s new graphic novel, “Max the Demon vs.

However, the laws of thermodynamics state that time has a direction and information is inevitably lost. So, how can both these things be true at once?

Though a cornerstone of thermodynamics, entropy remains one of the most vexing concepts to teach budding physicists in the classroom. Physics teachers designed a hand-held model to demonstrate the ...
