A quantum Pauli engine. The so-called quantum Pauli engine Widera and his collaborators developed relies on this boson-fermion switchover and operates similarly to a regular piston-based engine. The ...

Through his studies of heat engines, French engineer Sadi Carnot introduced the second law of thermodynamics in 1824. It would take another two decades for physicists to recognize his work’s ...

Tiny thermoelectric heat engines take advantage of quantum mechanical properties and nonthermal effects and, like tiny power plants, can convert the heat into electrical power rather than letting ...

Gao Peng's research group at the International Center for Quantum Materials, School of Physics, Peking University, has ...

UNDATED (WKRC) - A team of scientists claimed they developed a engine that does not use coal or oil but instead utilizes quantum entanglement. "Quantum" has become a sort of buzzword in science ...

BENGALURU: After years of struggle, a “micro heat engine”, that can produce maximum power at maximum efficiency, has been successfully designed by the Indian In ...

But all heat engines are currently limited by Carnot’s maximum efficiency rule. Attempts to increase a heat engine’s efficiency lower its power. A super-efficient heat engine is expected to have ...
