Chinese scientists crack code for heat engines with max power and efficiency
A recent study led by Chinese scientists has challenged the hundreds-of-year-old myth that a heat engine can achieve both ...
For the first time, a quantum engine has outperformed its traditional equivalent, without any special tweaks to its environment. The device harnesses the weird physics of very small objects to produce ...
MIT says its new solid-state thermophotovoltaic heat engine can harvest more energy from heat than the average steam turbine, at a fraction of the cost and using no moving parts. Huge implications for ...
