Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it.

After weeks of silence, NASA has officially dismissed speculation that 3I/ATLAS has anything to do with aliens.

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...

A tiny, particle-sized engine that runs at temperatures approaching the innermost core of the Sun could open a window into ...

This engine doesn’t power anything in particular except our deeper understanding of thermodynamics as well microscopic ...

The push for rapid decarbonization is meant to curb climate risk, but a closer look at the transition reveals an unsettling ...

Retirement planning may not be rocket science, but that doesn’t mean you can ignore the laws of physics. Think back to your high school science class and you might recall the Second Law of ...

Scientists develop a microscopic heat engine that achieves 100% efficiency, accomplishing what seemed impossible.

Discover how reading a quantum clock can surprisingly cost more energy than keeping it ticking, impacting timekeeping and ...

My two worlds - of serious conversations, and non-serious and at times risky playtime with a new toy - are disconnected from ...

I’m conscious, as I say goodbye to this column, of a powerful impulse to be all English and flippant and self-deprecatory, to ...

The British state is suffering from a crisis of legitimacy. This is not a theatrical claim, but the inevitable conclusion one ...
