In a study by TU Wien and FU Berlin, researchers have measured what happens when quantum physical information is lost. This clarifies important connections between thermodynamics, information theory ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a new organic device that can harvest energy from heat. Unlike other thermoelectric generators, this one works at room temperature without a heat gradient. Usually, ...

Carbon dioxide energy storage (CES) is an emerging compressed gas energy storage technology which offers high energy storage efficiency, flexibility in location, and low overall costs. This study ...

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, has intensified the demand for flexibility in modern energy systems.

At the dawn of the 20th century, classical physics failed spectacularly to explain blackbody radiation, predicting infinite energy at short wavelengths—a crisis dubbed the ultraviolet catastrophe. Max ...

A new nanoscale design channels hybrid light–vibration waves to carry heat more efficiently, allowing better thermal ...
