Almost exactly 200 years ago, French physicist Sadi Carnot determined the maximum efficiency of heat engines. The Carnot ...

China’s EAST reactor just broke a fundamental fusion limit—bringing the dream of ignition a big step closer. shutterstock.

Abstract: The submillimeter and microwave radiometers exhibit distinct sensitivities toward hydrometeor in different cloud phases. This work aimed to investigate the application of the synergistic ...

Marvel Phase 6 is running full steam ahead, and this could be the biggest MCU chapter ever. With two new Avengers movies, a Spider-Man film, and much more besides, we're in for a treat with this era ...

Over the course of the 20th century, condensed-matter physicists specializing in high-pressure research identified 20 distinct phases of crystalline ice. These phases were discovered across an ...

As we age, the human brain rewires itself. The process happens in distinct phases, or “epochs,” according to new research, as the structure of our neural networks changes and our brains reconfigure ...

The physics of thermodynamics, which involves quantities like heat and entropy, offers well-established tools for determining how far from equilibrium an idealised system of particles is. But when it ...

The human brain experiences five distinct eras as we age, and each is defined by changes in our neural architecture that influence how we process information, new research shows. The brain changes ...

Abstract: Accurate identification of cloud phase in the Arctic is critical for evaluating surface energy budgets and reducing uncertainties in climate models, as clouds exert a complex, warming ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers have made a breakthrough in applying the first law of thermodynamics to complex systems. The law is a bedrock of physics, but has long ...
