A research team at Duke University has developed a new AI framework that can uncover simple, understandable rules that govern ...

Thermodynamics was built to describe steam engines and stars, yet the same equations now sit at the heart of quantum computers and nanoscale devices. As physicists push into regimes where individual ...

The physics of thermodynamics, which involves quantities like heat and entropy, offers well-established tools for determining how far from equilibrium an idealised system of particles is. But when it ...

Abstract: This article presents a method for estimating a linear time-varying approximation of a general class of nonlinear time-varying (NLTV) systems. It starts from noisy measurements of the ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does not apply to objects on the atomic scale whose physical properties are linked ...

ABSTRACT: Considering that all living beings build their own structure with the energy they dissipate (Margalef Principle), it is necessary to understand the relationship between this principle and ...

What expands when crushed, shrinks when heated, and could both change scientists’ fundamental understanding of materials and return old EV batteries to factory-fresh performance levels? It’s not a ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

Synthese, Vol. 196, No. 5, Special Issue on Infinite Idealizations in Science (May 2019), pp. 1761-1781 (21 pages) This paper discusses an argument by Norton (in: European Philosophy of ...

Abstract: In this study, linear second order differential equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions which are used in civil engineering, thermodynamics, electrostatics, fluid dynamics are ...

Jeremy has more than 2100 published articles on Collider to his name, and has been writing for the site since February 2022. He's an omnivore when it comes to his movie-watching diet, so will gladly ...
