Leiden physicists Daniela Kraft and Julio Melio have created soft structures that can take on different shapes without any ...

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.

Scientists at King’s College London have built the world’s hottest engine—one so extreme that it reaches temperatures higher than the core of the sun. The engine isn’t a motor like you’d find in a car ...

Technically speaking, an engine is a device that converts some form of energy into mechanical energy. Taking that definition to heart, physicists harnessed the strange rules of microscopic physics and ...

A recent review published in Engineering highlights particle vision analysis (PVA), a rapidly developing field at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and microscopic imaging. The review ...
