The second law of thermodynamics says, in simple terms, entropy always increases. This principle explains, for example, why you can't unscramble an egg.

Physicists at West Virginia University have made a breakthrough on an age-old limitation of the first law of thermodynamics.

Nothing that we propose in this article contradicts the laws of thermodynamics or the energy balance equation; rather, we follow others in questioning whether simplified interpretation of the ...

The extraction of work (i.e., usable energy) from quantum processes is a key focus of quantum thermodynamics research, which explores the application of thermodynamics laws to quantum systems ...

Tropical cyclones offer the planet one way to move energy from the tropics to higher latitudes both in the atmosphere and in the ocean.

In a new PNAS Perspective, a team of authors argues that stochastic thermodynamics provides the mathematical tools needed to investigate the energy usage of all computational systems.
