Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

A new study introduces a simple molecular-engineering strategy that dramatically improves the reversibility of zinc plating ...

Imagine that one day you absentmindedly fall victim to a crypto phishing scam, the perpetrator stealing 10 ether (ETH) from you. Crypto transactions are final so there's not much that you can do, ...

Scientists have shown, through probabilistic calculations, that there is indeed, as had been hypothesized, a rule of 'entropy' for the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. This finding could help drive ...

While quantum entanglement mimicks the first law of thermodynamics in terms of entropy in a system, scientists wonder if the second law—especially the part about reversibility—could hold true. A new ...

Here, reversibility does not refer to time symmetry but the ability of an external agent to manipulate the system into a different state and then manipulate it back to its initial state without any ...
