Quantum thermodynamics has emerged as an innovative field that integrates the principles of quantum mechanics with classical thermodynamic concepts to describe systems beyond equilibrium. Central to ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used to analyze medical images, materials data and scientific measurements, but ...

In a new publication, Professor José-María Martín-Olalla, from the Department of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Seville, has described the direct link between the vanishing of specific ...

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

Entropy also increases in initially ordered quantum systems until it reaches a final state of disorder. Entropy and the direction of time Equating 'entropy' with 'disorder' is not entirely correct.

In a study published in Nature, researchers have used ultrafast laser heating and high-resolution inelastic X-ray scattering to explore the extreme limits of gold's structural stability. The 'entropy ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

Gold has been pushed to 14 times its melting point without liquefying, defying predictions about thermodynamic limits and revealing new insights into extreme material stability. Image Credit: ...
