Physicists have created a device that has experimentally exceeded the conventional second law of thermodynamics. The device is an information engine, which converts information into work, and it is ...

A thermodynamic cycle simulation using multiple zones for the combustion process was used to obtain the performance, energy and availability characteristics for an automotive spark-ignition engine. In ...

Thermodynamics provides insight into the internal energy of a system and the energy interaction with its surroundings. This relies on the local thermal equilibrium of a system. Thermodynamics provides ...

With just a single carbon nanotube for a filament, the world’s smallest incandescent lamp has been made by physicists in the US. The team are using the tiny light to study the murky boundary between ...
