The first law of thermodynamics is one of the bedrock laws of physics. Even if you’re not gung-ho for physics research, you ...

This cover design visually encapsulates the central themes of the research paper by merging symbolic representations of both computational systems and stochastic thermodynamics. A computer chip serves ...

With her students exploring the concepts of how energy behaves in the universe, Heather Walker took the opportunity to introduce her class to the top-of-the-line machinery that is putting this study ...

There's been a rapid resurgence of interest in understanding the energy cost of computing. Recent advances in this 'thermodynamics of computation' are now summarized. For decades, physicists have ...

Tokyo, Japan – Revealing the scientific laws that govern our world is often considered the ‘holy grail’ by scientists, as such discoveries have wide-ranging implications. In an exciting development ...

Direct-injection spark-ignition (DISI) engines have been investigated for many years but only recently have shown promise as a next generation gasoline engine technology. Much of this new enthusiasm ...

High pressure thermodynamics examines how extreme pressures alter the internal energy, phase stability and melting behaviour of materials. Under such conditions, the atomic interactions can change ...

Researchers are yielding new insights into how chemical reactions can be understood and guided. Simon Fraser University researchers are yielding new insights into how chemical reactions can be ...
