Mar. 24, 2022 Researchers used molecular dynamics simulations to model heat transport at atomic scales. This allowed the three-dimensional structure responsible for the heat flux to be visualized. The work may ...
July 29, 2021 By combining quantum theory and thermodynamics, it is possible to design a new kind of atomic refrigerator, which can cool down extremely cold Bose-Einstein-condensates even ...
Feb. 8, 2024 For the first time, physicists have captured direct images of 'second sound,' the movement of heat sloshing back and forth within a superfluid. The results will expand scientists' ...
Oct. 19, 2021 Physicists have examined a special system of colloidal particles that they activated using laser light. The researchers discovered that self-propelling droplets, which they have named ...
Aug. 26, 2022 Physicists have built a quantum scale heat pump made from particles of light. This device brings scientists closer to the quantum limit of measuring radio frequency signals, useful in for example the ...
Dec. 14, 2022 Two seemingly different areas of physics are related in subtle ways: Quantum theory and thermodynamics. How can the laws of thermodynamics arise from the laws of quantum physics? This question has ...
Sep. 2, 2021 New experiments using trapped one-dimensional gases -- atoms cooled to the coldest temperatures in the universe and confined so that they can only move in a line -- fit with the predictions of the ...
Feb. 28, 2023 From the way that particles scatter light, it is possible to calculate a special light field that can slow these particles down. This is a new and powerful method to cool particles down to extremely ...
July 15, 2021 A collaborative research team has discovered a new inorganic material with the lowest thermal conductivity ever reported. This discovery paves the way for the development of new thermoelectric ...
Feb. 24, 2023 An unusual form of caesium atom is helping a research team unmask unknown particles that make up the ...
