A hybrid geothermal-biomass system integrates multigeneration heating, cooling, and power through thermodynamic and economic optimization. Using exergy analysis and particle swarm optimization, the ...

Heat is supposed to need something to cling to, whether vibrating atoms in a metal rod or infrared light streaming from a hot stove. Yet a series of recent experiments suggests that empty space is not ...

The Grand Valley Local School Board heard progress reports on a variety of projects during a Monday evening meeting.

Hugo Junkers, the father of modern German aviation, was a thermodynamics professor who made his fortune selling 100,000 gas ...

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

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

What if the future of artificial intelligence wasn’t just faster or smarter, but fundamentally more sustainable? Picture this: a world where the energy demands of AI no longer threaten to outpace our ...

What expands when crushed, shrinks when heated, and could both change scientists’ fundamental understanding of materials and return old EV batteries to factory-fresh performance levels? It’s not a ...

Imagine a world where your computer doesn’t just work harder but smarter, tapping into the very chaos that surrounds us. It’s not science fiction—it’s the dawn of probabilistic and thermodynamic ...

Picture Victorian London, but its skies are filled with airships. Steam-powered robots crowd the streets, mingling with people in top hats and petticoats. That type of retrofuturistic mash-up is the ...

If someone is experiencing physical abuse, you may be able to identify signs such as bruises or injuries. A person may also display behaviors such as expressing fear or unease when speaking about ...
