Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have demonstrated that the Carnot principle, a foundational rule of thermodynamics, does not fully apply ...
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 ...
Low- to zero-carbon fuels, including biofuels and their blends, are essential for developing sustainable energy systems and serve as effective alternatives ...
Abstract: The methods of finite-time thermodynamics allow to determine limits of performance for macrosystems. The efficiency criterion for macrosystems is their entropy production rate: for Heat ...
Abstract: Today’s hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are designed with human drivers in mind; therefore, they may not be the optimal choice for future autonomous vehicles (AVs), which can precisely ...
For two centuries, students have learned that heat flows and engines work according to rigid limits that no machine can beat.
For much of the past decade, AI in wealth management was discussed primarily as a lever for efficiency and cost reduction. That framing is now changing rapidly. Speaking with InvestmentNews, Ugur ...
This has been discussed before on Ars, such as at https://arstechnica.com/civis/threa...ost-efficient-heat-pump-in-the-world.1501605/, and https://arstechnica.com ...
Daud Gonzalez is a lifelong car enthusiast and automotive writer with a specialty in modified and race-ready rides. He spends most of his time modifying his cars and ruining them in the process. He is ...
