A new model built on stochastic thermodynamics shows that the tiny hair bundles inside the inner ear do not simply detect sound waves but actively switch between distinct operating modes, one tuned ...

The young field of quantum thermodynamics, which tries to reconcile quantum theory with the 200-year-old science of heat and entropy, is booming. It’s also causing some heated disputes. Many ...

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) encapsulate a fundamental trade‐off between energetic dissipation and the precision of fluxes or currents in fluctuating systems. Stochastic thermodynamics ...

Stochastic thermodynamics and quantum systems constitute an emerging interdisciplinary field that extends classical thermodynamic concepts into realms where fluctuations and quantum effects play a ...

In the early 1970s, people studying general relativity, our modern theory of gravity, noticed rough similarities between the properties of black holes and the laws of thermodynamics. Stephen Hawking ...

FOR THOSE READERS who like short book reviews, let me assist you. "Four Laws That Drive the Universe," by Peter Atkins is an outstanding introduction to thermodynamics. This brief book converts ...

Thermodynamics as a research area investigates the fundamental laws governing energy, entropy, and the macroscopic behavior of physical systems at or near equilibrium, and their extensions to ...
