A material that emits less energy than it absorbs has the potential to save some of the sunlight wasted by solar collectors.

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have developed a tunable system that paves the way for ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...
