Albert Einstein, in 1905, presented the revolutionary idea of light quanta of energy which equals ħw, where ħ is reduced Planck's constant. There is plenty of experimental evidence on magnetic flux ...

It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets ...

For their latest magic trick, physicists have done the quantum equivalent of conjuring energy out of thin air. It’s a feat that seems to fly in the face of physical law and common sense. “You can’t ...

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the ...

Recent breakthroughs in quantum mechanics, highlighted by the Nobel Prize in Physics, are fundamentally changing the energy sector by enabling new forms of energy harvesting that surpass thermodynamic ...

A team of researchers has designed a theoretical model for a topological quantum battery capable of long-distance energy transfer and immunity to dissipation. By exploiting topological properties in ...

Scientists built a tiny clock from single-electron jumps to probe the true energy cost of quantum timekeeping. They discovered that reading the clock’s output requires vastly more energy than the ...
