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 ...

A study published in Physical Review Letters (PRL) details a "Gambling Carnot Engine" that researchers report can attain 100% efficiency while also improving power generation. Subscribe to our ...

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 ...

As the world battles rising inflation, a cost-of-living crisis, climate change and more, it’s clear that the fossil-fueled status quo is not working. Fossil fuels may have seemed like the crutch we ...
