For over a century, the Maxwell’s Demon paradox has haunted physics. This thought experiment suggests that a tiny, ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

The second law of thermodynamics, a cornerstone of modern physics, states that entropy—a measure of disorder—never spontaneously decreases. It governs everything from the efficiency of engines to the ...

Mathematical equations have shaped our understanding of the universe, and these nine have played a key role in changing the world.

Epstein’s “little black book” contains entries of high-profile figures. A copy of the contacts book was first published in ...

William Matthaeus, the Martin A. Pomerantz Chair of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Delaware, has won UD’s highest ...

Researchers from the Nagoya University and Slovak Academy of Sciences have made a ground-breaking discovery that sheds new ...

In simpler terms, the second law of thermodynamics means that things naturally tend to become more disordered over time.

In the year that Faraday formulated his law of induction, a Scottish physicist was born who consolidated it into a set of mathematical laws on electromagnetism: James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879). Albert ...

The idea of Dyson Sphere’s has been around for decades. When Freeman Dyson explored the concept he acknowledged that they may ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled ...
