Researchers at the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a novel ...

When stretched or compressed, it exhibits a reversible temperature change (ΔT) that’s 20 times greater than that of ...

The Carnot compressor uses a strange centrifugal process to vastly cut down the number of moving parts in the device. It's inspired, the team tells me, by a sixteenth-century device called a ...

Its highest possible value was discovered by Carnot in 1824 and is a cornerstone concept in thermodynamics. It led to the discovery of the second law and to the definition of the Kelvin ...

Engineers have reported on the development of a microscopic motor operating between two thermal baths, that is, a micro Carnot engine. In a recent study published in Nature Physics, ICFO ...
