Technological civilization stands before an existential paradox. While the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) grows ...

A study has developed a new method that enables quantum computers to measure the thermodynamic properties of systems by calculating the zeros of the partition function. A study led by researchers at ...

(Editor’s Note: This story originally ran in November 2008 and has proved a perennial favorite of Power Engineering readers. With the New Year we thought we’d share it again. Click here to see the ...

Why is important to study the thermodynamics of D-Wave quantum processors? Michele Campisi: Quantum technology has just entered the “noisy intermediate-scale quantum” (NISQ) era. This is characterized ...

When I began my power industry career years ago (initially in the chemistry lab of a coal-fired power plant), the criticality of proper chemistry control of steam boilers, cooling water systems, and ...

Settle-out calculations in natural gas systems need to be sufficiently rigorous accurately to predict settle-out under various operating conditions without being so conservative as to increase costs.

In most of these applications, as with all nanomaterials, the material surface plays a critical role. Therefore, their surface properties, and more particularly their solid surface energy – the energy ...
