There are "costs of life" that mechanical physics cannot calculate. A clear example is the energy required to keep specific ...

The extraction of work (i.e., usable energy) from quantum processes is a key focus of quantum thermodynamics research, which explores the application of thermodynamics laws to quantum systems.

Synthese, Vol. 196, No. 5, Special Issue on Infinite Idealizations in Science (May 2019), pp. 1761-1781 (21 pages) This paper discusses an argument by Norton (in: European Philosophy of ...

In biophysics, the kinetic states of molecules play a determining role in the metabolic and physiological processes in which they take part. Now, a new article specifies for the first time the levels ...

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the ...

Scientists have been investigating how the human body ages, and if it's possible to reverse aging. The advent of big data, along with artificial intelligence and machine learning, has helped experts ...

What if the future of artificial intelligence wasn’t just faster or smarter, but fundamentally more sustainable? Picture this: a world where the energy demands of AI no longer threaten to outpace our ...
