Olalla, from the Department of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Seville, has described the direct link between ...

By establishing a larger principle for how things shatter, certain energy-intensive tasks could gain an advantage.

Olalla’s recent work argues that the disappearance of specific heat at absolute zero—long treated as part of the third law of thermodynamics—can instead be derived directly from the second law, ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

Dr. Nevill Gonzalez Szwacki from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw has developed a groundbreaking model that explains the diversity of boron nanostructures—from hollow molecular ...

This paper follows another in which Professor Martín-Olalla corrected an original idea by Einstein that gave rise to the third law of thermodynamics ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never ...

If the universe is 13.8 billion years old, why is the observable universe 46 billion light-years across? This video explains ...

Teachers are wearily getting on with the reformed Leaving Cert, but there are some things they just can’t do – like stopping ...

Thomas Smeenk, BA, unveils a proposed conformal invariant, A = E/(hv), explored as a potential bridge between General ...

Negative energy may not be the showstopper it might be the geometry. That’s the bottom line from the latest warp‑drive study ...

From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run ...
