Living cells pay a hidden energy price not just to run chemical reactions, but to keep them on track and block all the ...
There are “costs of life” that mechanical physics cannot calculate. A clear example is the energy required to keep specific ...
Thermodynamic spontaneity—whether a reaction can go—can be measured by changes in either of two parameters: entropy or free energy. These concepts are abstract and can be somewhat difficult to ...
Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does not apply to objects on the atomic scale whose physical properties are linked ...
Spontaneous regression of cancer is an uncommon event observed most often in neuroblastoma, leukemia, lung cancer, and melanoma. The underlying mechanisms are not fully understood; however, infections ...
Guillaume Verdon stands before me with a new kind of computer chip in his hand—a piece of hardware he believes is so important to the future of humanity that he’s asked me not to reveal our exact ...
Picture Victorian London, but its skies are filled with airships. Steam-powered robots crowd the streets, mingling with people in top hats and petticoats. That type of retrofuturistic mash-up is the ...
ABSTRACT: According to the second law of thermodynamics, as currently understood, any given transit of a system along the reversible path proceeds with a total entropy change equal to zero. The fact ...
