Quantum thermodynamics explores the fundamental principles governing energy conversion at the smallest scales, where quantum effects such as coherence and entanglement significantly influence the ...

Astron aerospace has shown a partial prototype of a new rotary combustion engine it claims runs at an extraordinary 60% thermal efficiency, burning totally clean with zero NOx emissions and nothing ...

Engineers have built a modern Stirling engine that quietly turns the cold of outer space into steady mechanical power, using the night sky as a heat sink instead of a fuel tank. By radiating heat away ...

For more than 100 years, the internal combustion engine (ICE) has been the mechanism of choice for vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Across all configurations, the principle is the same: a mix of fuel ...

As the world battles rising inflation, a cost-of-living crisis, climate change and more, it’s clear that the fossil-fueled status quo is not working. Fossil fuels may have seemed like the crutch we ...

Have you ever imagined a bike powered not by gasoline or electricity, but by the simple act of heating and cooling air? It might sound like something out of a science fiction novel, but the concept is ...

The impressive capabilities of twenty-first century medical technology, from imaging equipment to surgical instruments and automated immunoassays, are in many ways a tribute to the advances in ...
