May 15 (UPI) --In the future, tiny thermal engines could power nanoscale machinery and quantum computers. Researchers demonstrated the potential of miniaturized heat engines using a theoretical model.
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — To evade friction, try taking a quantum shortcut. Two teams of physicists are building tiny machines designed to operate with the maximum possible efficiency. According to ...
Too much background noise is usually guaranteed to disrupt work. But FQXi-funded physicists have developed a micro-scale engine–made from a glass bead–that can not only withstand the distracting ...
