A study published in Physical Review Letters (PRL) details a "Gambling Carnot Engine" that researchers report can attain 100% efficiency while also improving power generation. The researchers present ...
All vehicles become less efficient in cold weather. In a recent study, researchers in freezing Finland focused on whether engine block heaters could help increase efficiency in internal-combustion ...

A typical gas engine wastes more than half its fuel as heat, not motion
Most of the gasoline burned in a conventional car never turns a single wheel. Federal data from the U.S. Department of Energy ...
Metasurfaces make quantum dot films cooler where they emit more efficiently, turning light-controlled temperature gradients into self-powered electrical signals.
Quantum heat engines and refrigerators are open quantum systems, whose dynamics can be well understood using a non-Hermitian formalism. A prominent feature of non-Hermiticity is the existence of ...
Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a thermoacoustic Stirling heat pump prototype that offers high thermal performance, a peak coefficient of performance of 1.68, and potential ...
When an air-fuel charge burns inside an engine's cylinder, some of the heat that is produced gets absorbed by the spark plug. The heat is transferred to the engine's coolant, taking a path through the ...
