Researchers have used an ensemble of NV− centers in diamond for implementing different types of quantum heat engines. They have used these to demonstrate the equivalence of the power output of two ...

If you live in a region with below freezing temps, you may have heard of engine block heaters. Here's what they are, the different types, and how they work.

Engine overheating is rarely the result of a single failure. It usually happens when several small weaknesses in the cooling system line up, from low coolant to a stuck thermostat or a failing fan. To ...

The heat engine works as its intrinsic spin converts heat absorbed from laser beams into oscillations of a trapped ion. Credit: John Goold, Trinity College Dublin A new heat engine made from a ...

A heat engine is a device that accepts heat from a high temperature reservoir, T H , performs externalwork, W, and rejects heat to a low temperature reservoir T L. The diagram shows a practical ...

Quantum thermodynamics explores the fundamental principles governing energy conversion at the smallest scales, where quantum effects such as coherence and entanglement significantly influence the ...

There are so many paths we humans are running down in our chase for a greener future it’s extremely hard to keep track of everything. The auto industry is trying to go electric, either by means of ...

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — High temperatures means hot cars. If your car gets too hot, it runs the risk of overheating its engine. Let’s get into a few things you can do to keep that from happening. Southwest ...

Power boost: a quantum heat engine in synthetic diamond. (Courtesy: Jonas Becker) Physicists have in recent years built a number of microscopic heat engines to investigate how the laws of ...
