Today we are delving into an experiment that is a study in Thermodynamics which is defined as the branch of physical science that deals with the relations between heat and other forms of energy (such ...

In classical physics, anything driven hard enough will eventually heat up, lose coherence, and settle into disorder. A new ...

Thanks to the power of fluctuation relations, physicists are taking the second law of thermodynamics to settings once thought impossible. Since the steam engine began modernizing the world, the second ...

Antoine Naert has reconstructed a prop straight out of the Industrial Revolution. But don’t expect steam-powered engines or decorative brass gears. Naert, a physicist at ENS Lyon in France, and his ...

Reconstructing accurately how the parts of a complex molecular are held together knowing only how the molecule distorts and breaks up. This was the challenge taken on by a research team led by SISSA’s ...

A 155-year-old thought experiment, long thought to break the laws of thermodynamics, could be made real on a large scale. Maxwell’s demon is a thought experiment first proposed by Scottish ...

The diagram illustrates the interplay among data acquisition, machine learning, and experiment synthesis. Physical models such as thermodynamics and kinetics can be integrated into ML models as expert ...

In particular, the scientists studied how a DNA double helix unzips when translocated at high velocity through a nanopore, reconstructing fundamental DNA thermodynamic properties from the sole speed ...
