Recent studies have developed fundamental limitations on nanoscale thermodynamics, in terms of a set of independent free energy relations. Here we show that free energy relations cannot properly ...

The extraction of work (i.e., usable energy) from quantum processes is a key focus of quantum thermodynamics research, which explores the application of thermodynamics laws to quantum systems.

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the ...

Based on an article published in the Saudi Aramco Journal of Technology, Fall 2009. Thermodynamics can assist with understanding the underlying chemical processes of internal corrosion and black ...
