Impressively, the world's hottest engine could alter our understanding of thermodynamics as well as human diseases.

Scientists have built the world’s smallest engine. It consists of a single microscopic particle, smaller than a human cell, ...

Researchers have designed a remarkably fast engine that taps into a new kind of fuel -- information. This engine converts the random jiggling of a microscopic particle into stored energy. It could ...

Researchers are taking thermodynamics to a whole new level: the microscopic level. The science of heat and energy exchange underpins most of our modern life, as well as the fate of the universe.

When shopping on Amazon or browsing Netflix, you might find yourself laughing at the occasional absurdity and incorrectness of the services' shopping or viewing recommendations. However, some ...

Research has shown that "hot" processes such as welding and high-speed machining can generate ultrafine particles (particles with a diameter less than 100 nanometers) that may be harmful to workers' ...

Diesel-fueled compression ignition engines display a distinct trade-off in particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions due to the nature of diffusive combustion. The modification of ...
