The first law of thermodynamics is one of the bedrock laws of physics. Even if you’re not gung-ho for physics research, you ...

As Homer Simpson once famously phrased, “ in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics ,” but a new and completely ...

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 ...

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

The Earth system is remarkably different from its planetary neighbours in that it shows pronounced, strong global cycling of matter. These global cycles result in the maintenance of a unique ...

The performance and reliability of machines and devices reduce as they age. Currently, inaccurate degradation ...

Supramolecular assemblies are essential for biological function and in many aspects the field of supramolecular chemistry has been inspired by biology. Compelling illustrations of complex assemblies ...

Most thermodynamic measurements of binding reactions rely on the validity of the law of mass action and the assumption of a dilute solution. Yet, important biological systems such as allosteric ligand ...

A new study from Rice University in Houston, Texas, has explored the potential of converting waste heat from data centers into a dispatchable power source. The study published in the journal Solar ...

In the loop: PhD student Monika Monika takes a closer look at the negative-temperature experimental setup in Jena. (Courtesy: Ira Winkler/University Jena) Researchers in Germany and the US have ...
