Thermodynamic spontaneity—whether a reaction can go—can be measured by changes in either of two parameters: entropy or free energy.

A routine lab experiment by a college student has turned into one of the strangest physics stories of the year, hinting that ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed an electrochemical reaction manifold that promotes ...

Describing matter under extreme conditions, such as those found inside neutron stars, remains an unsolved problem. The ...

This groundbreaking study in Advanced Science introduces a practical, non-passive way to manipulate thermal signatures.

A new review article published in Med Research explores the application of microcalorimetry to measure the "four properties" (cold, hot, warm, and cool) of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). By ...

Georgia Power proposes adding a new natural gas unit to Plant McIntosh as part of a major grid expansion. An expert witness ...

For two centuries, engineers have trusted a simple rule to predict how heat flows through solids, from jet-engine blades to ...

Science can now explain the connection between information and consciousness. The answer is simpler—and stranger—than you ...

Olalla’s recent work argues that the disappearance of specific heat at absolute zero—long treated as part of the third law of thermodynamics—can instead be derived directly from the second law, ...

This paper follows another in which Professor Martín-Olalla corrected an original idea by Einstein that gave rise to the third law of thermodynamics ...
