Arguably, almost all truly intriguing systems are ones that are far away from equilibrium -- such as stars, planetary atmospheres, and even digital circuits. But, until now, systems far from thermal ...

The Japanese collaborative team of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) and Osaka University presents a novel method for tuning hydrodynamic interfacial instability through a ...

An international team of scientists has observed a never-before-seen exotic phase of matter on a quantum processor using ...

Entropy production lies at the heart of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, a field that examines systems away from equilibrium where continuous energy flows and irreversible processes dominate. In such ...

Physicists have achieved a breakthrough by using a 58-qubit quantum computer to create and observe a long-theorized but never ...

The special composition question (SCQ), which asks under which conditions objects compose a further object, establishes a central debate in modern metaphysics. Recent successes of inductive ...

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics has shown its applicability in a wide variety of different situations pertaining to fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. As successful as it is, ...

The universe started with the Big Bang. What will the universe look like far in the future? Cosmologists aren’t sure, but they have some predictions. The most famous prediction is the heat death of ...

A brief look into the laws of thermodynamics and how they govern the work done by machines. The Laws of Thermodynamics are the foundation of heat transfer and energy work. When any engineer is ...
