Almost exactly 200 years ago, French physicist Sadi Carnot determined the maximum efficiency of heat engines. The Carnot ...
A recent study led by Chinese scientists has challenged the hundreds-of-year-old myth that a heat engine can achieve both ...
Elon Musk is one of the jolliest tech CEOs in the industry. He is also really active on Twitter as he always shares his thoughts and answers his fans' questions in the comment sections. And now, Elon ...
Nearly 70 percent of the energy produced in the United States each year is wasted as heat. Much of that heat is less than 100 degrees Celsius and emanates from things like computers, cars or large ...
A study published in Physical Review Letters (PRL) details a "Gambling Carnot Engine" that researchers report can attain 100% efficiency while also improving power generation. Subscribe to our ...
Basically their theory is that thermoelectric conversion of heat into electricity can reach the Carnot limit and have some new computational modeling to guide development toward that goal and to model ...
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 ...
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 ...
ON p. 326 of NATURE for August 29 appears an abstract of a paper by Dr. J. S. Haldane, which he read before the Institution of Mining Engineers on June 16. In this paper he has “thrown to the winds” ...
