A quantum nanodevice can simultaneously act as a heat engine and a refrigerator Trade-off with superconducting qubits overcome by quantum filter Long-range quantum interactions limit the speed of ...
RIKEN physicists have fabricated a nanoscale ‘heat engine’ that uses a property of electrons known as spin as the effective working medium 1. It is promising for exploring the development of ...
“We’ve developed the world’s smallest steam engine, or to be more precise the smallest Stirling engine, and found that the machine really does perform work,” said Clemens Bechinger, a physicist at the ...
In 1824, French engineer Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot – known as the father of thermodynamics – proposed what is known as the Carnot engine, the most efficient engine which is theoretically possible.
Scientists are working on a heat engine that consists of just a single ion. Such a nano-heat engine could be far more efficient than, for example, a car engine or a coal-fired power plant. Scientists ...
