The physics of thermodynamics, which involves quantities like heat and entropy, offers well-established tools for determining how far from equilibrium an idealised system of particles is. But when it ...

How many times have we seen a bikemaker unveil an ambitious concept at EICMA, only to quietly abandon it later as if it never happened? Not Honda this time around. At last year’s EICMA, the Japanese ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does not apply to objects on the atomic scale whose physical properties are linked ...

A team of researchers at the USC’s (University of Southern California) Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has designed what it calls “the first optical device that follows ...

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 ...

MENALLEN TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A man has died from injuries he sustained when an air compressor exploded in a detached garage in Fayette County. The fire broke out around 9 p.m. Sunday in the 400 block of ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Used in a variety of professional settings, as well as home projects, air tools are an invaluable asset. From blow guns and impact wrenches to ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. DeWalt Power Tools have been around since Raymond DeWalt invented the "DeWalt Wonder-Worker," the world's first electric radial arm saw, in ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

Portable air compressors power a variety of air tools, including inflators for tires, finish nailers for carpentry projects, and impact wrenches for auto work. Unlike full-size air compressors, these ...

A New Hampshire company will use a federal grant to bring space-worthy compressor technology down to Earth to better heat and cool people’s homes. The $1.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of ...
