A 155-year-old thought experiment, long thought to break the laws of thermodynamics, could be made real on a large scale. Maxwell’s demon is a thought experiment first proposed by Scottish ...

It seems quantum mechanics and thermodynamics cannot be true simultaneously. In a new publication, UT researchers use photons in an optical chip to demonstrate how both theories can be true at the ...

The rules of statistical physics address the uncertainty about the state of a system that arises when that system interacts with its environment. But they've long missed another kind. In a new paper, ...
