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 ...

Harnessing quantum states that avoid thermalization enables energy harvesters to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits such as Carnot efficiency, report researchers from Japan. The team developed a ...

Physicists have designed a novel micro heat engine that can produce maximum power at maximum efficiency 1. The engine operates with a single particle whose width is one hundredth of a single human ...

The outlet temperature of the heat recovery reservoir is an important parameter in the design of refrigeration with heat recovery systems. In this paper the second law of thermodynamics has been ...

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) has set out plans to invest in Carnot, a start-up company that develops technology for highly efficient engines using heat-resistant materials. Carnot is technology start-up ...
