For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the strange behavior of atoms and photons. Physicists have long suspected that ...
In classical physics, anything driven hard enough will eventually heat up, lose coherence, and settle into disorder. A new ...
A multi-disciplinary team of researchers linked atomic-scale features to efficient heat-to-electricity conversion, offering ...

When laser light passes through a cavity filled with atoms, part of it can do useful work (for instance, charge a quantum battery, top), whereas the other part turns into “heat” (bottom). Researchers ...
The U.S. heating specialist has agreed to invest an unspecified sum in Dutch startup Blueheart Energy, which is developing a 6 kW heat pump that works on acoustic waves and is able to produce both ...
