In our increasingly electrified world, supercapacitors have emerged as critical components in transportation and renewable ...

For the first time, researchers have successfully coupled a continuous time crystal-a quantum system that oscillates ...

A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping—the act of ...

Scientists learned that reading a quantum clock requires orders of magnitude more energy than running it. This surprising imbalance reveals that observation itself shapes the flow and thermodynamics ...

Researchers built a computer that performs AI calculations at light speed in a single shot. The breakthrough can help AI ...

Physicists at UC Santa Cruz will receive $555,000 of that to develop a literal gem of a monitoring system that such power plants will need to safely generate fusion energy—a system that incorporates ...

A new report by LUT University in Finland and the Energy Watch Group (EWG) in Germany outlines a cross-sector, global 100% renewable energy system, backing up the version it released last year. The ...

Canadian Solar Inc.’s CSIQ e-STORAGE subsidiary has secured a contract to deliver a fully integrated energy storage solution ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Longer ago than I care to calculate, I was sitting in a lab working on ...

An MIT physicist has proposed the provocative idea that life exists because the law of increasing entropy drives matter to acquire lifelike physical properties. Popular hypotheses credit a primordial ...

From Quanta Magazine (find original story here). Why does life exist? Popular hypotheses credit a primordial soup, a bolt of lightning and a colossal stroke of luck. But if a provocative new theory is ...
