In the 19th century, James Clerk Maxwell, who developed the modern theory of electromagnetism, introduced Maxwell's demon and the theory of stochastic thermodynamics was conceived. Maxwell's intent is ...
The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system can only increase over time and this increase accounts for the irreversibility of natural processes. In 1867, ...
In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the interplay between quantum theory and thermodynamics.
If you hang around with physics people long enough, some­one eventually will bring up Maxwell's equations. Maybe as part of a joke, or on a T-shirt or a tattoo. But they'll be somewhere. So even if ...
Maxwell's Equations tell us a lot about electromagnetic interactions and physics. In the mid-1800s, Scottish physicist James Maxwell thought something interesting was going on with electric fields. So ...
Making use of nanotechnology, scientists in Finland have succeeded in constructing an autonomous Maxwell's demon that makes it possible to analyze the microscopic changes in thermodynamics. Scientists ...
The Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell was one of the scientific giants of the 19th century. In Einstein’s view, Maxwell’s work was “the most profound and the most fruitful that physics had ...
A 155-year-old thought experiment, long thought to break the laws of thermodynamics, could be made real on a large scale. Maxwell’s demon is a thought experiment first proposed by Scottish ...
In the 19th century, James Clerk Maxwell, who developed the modern theory of electromagnetism, introduced Maxwell's demon and the theory of stochastic thermodynamics was conceived. Maxwell's intent is ...
