By Partha Sinha Entropy fascinates because it announces itself. It spreads, decays and disperses. It makes noise. Like Kali, ...

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

Recent studies have developed fundamental limitations on nanoscale thermodynamics, in terms of a set of independent free energy relations. Here we show that free energy relations cannot properly ...

In pressure relief systems, accurately estimating temperature changes during fluid flow is vital for relief piping ...

FOR THOSE READERS who like short book reviews, let me assist you. "Four Laws That Drive the Universe," by Peter Atkins is an outstanding introduction to thermodynamics. This brief book converts ...

In medicinal chemistry, the binding affinity of a small-molecule scaffold (possibly discovered through a fragment-based approach) for a therapeutic target is optimized from millimolar to nanomolar ...

Everyone knows baby boomers in the power sector have reached retirement age, meaning many new hires will be thrust into technical positions where fundamental information is valuable. One such area is ...

What if the future of artificial intelligence wasn’t just faster or smarter, but fundamentally more sustainable? Picture this: a world where the energy demands of AI no longer threaten to outpace our ...
