For over a century, the Maxwell’s Demon paradox has haunted physics. This thought experiment suggests that a tiny, ...

Philip Ball looks at how a little-known paper by Niels Bohr demonstrates the turmoil in physics on the brink of quantum ...

In simpler terms, the second law of thermodynamics means that things naturally tend to become more disordered over time.

Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the interplay ...

The second law of thermodynamics, a cornerstone of modern physics, states that entropy—a measure of disorder—never spontaneously decreases. It governs everything from the efficiency of engines to the ...

It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets ...

New research shows that the second law of thermodynamics, which states entropy increases over time, also applies to closed ...

Quantum computers process multiple possibilities at once, unlike traditional computers. Quantum properties like entanglement ...

An analog-digital approach to quantum simulation could lay the foundations for the next generation of supercomputers to ...

Quantum physics underlies technologies from the laser to the smartphone. The International Year of Quantum marks a century of scientific developments.

A new study published in Scientific Reports simulates particle creation in an expanding universe using IBM quantum computers, ...

By blending digital control with analog simulations, scientists have created a powerful new quantum simulator that pushes ...
