Researchers have discovered a method to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits in converting waste heat into electricity.

Harnessing quantum states that avoid thermalization enables energy harvesters to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits ...

With her students exploring the concepts of how energy behaves in the universe, Heather Walker took the opportunity to introduce her class to the top-of-the-line machinery that is putting this study ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect ...

When I began my power industry career years ago (initially in the chemistry lab of a coal-fired power plant), the criticality of proper chemistry control of steam boilers, cooling water systems, and ...

Electric solid propellants are being explored as a safer option for pyrotechnics, mining, and in-space propulsion because they only ignite with an electric current. But because all of these ...
