Heating that lasted only trillionths of a second raised a gold sample’s temperature to 19,000 K without melting it, a study ...

In the strange, often unintuitive world of quantum physics, one mystery has stood out for decades: Can quantum entanglement be manipulated in a reversible way, like energy in a perfect heat engine?

The second law of thermodynamics demands that if we want to make a clock more precise – thereby reducing the disorder, or ...

This is the so-called entropy catastrophe. This critical temperature, where a superheated solid and a liquid have the same entropy, is around three times the melting temperature. Gold has a melting ...

Researchers taking the first-ever direct measurement of atom temperature in extremely hot materials inadvertently disproved a ...

A new study shows entanglement can be reversed—if you plug in a quantum battery. The finding rewrites the rules of the quantum world.

Time is one of the most intriguing concepts in physics, and yet, it's something that we often take for granted. But what if the way we experience time moving only forward defies the very laws of ...

So forget about being a good loser. Work on the comeback: That’s my advice. Doomed as we may be to entropy, we humans also ...

Last week, standing with the Bible skeptic Michael on the common ground that science affords, we continued to look to the ...

Water engines are now possible, but 50 years ago an inventor tried to create a "water motor", but the dream faded when ...
