A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...
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 ...
Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have demonstrated that the Carnot principle, a foundational rule of thermodynamics, does not fully apply ...
Researchers in Denmark have investigated what levelized cost of storage (LCOS) Carnot batteries have to achieve to become competitive in a 100% renewables scenario within their home country. They ...
(Nanowerk News) Harnessing quantum states that avoid thermalization enables energy harvesters to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits such as Carnot efficiency, report researchers from Japan. The ...
Prof. SUN Qingping (left) and Research Assistant Prof. LI Qiao (right), both from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at HKUST, demonstrate their newly developed Ti₇₈Nb₂₂ elastic ...
Danish researchers investigated how solar-powered Carnot batteries could be integrated into decommissioned coal power plants to produce clean energy. They found that a 300 MW retrofitted plant coal ...
To address the variability of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has joined forces with industry, academia, and government to lead in the ...
