Equilibrium may be hard to achieve in our lives, but it is the standard state of nature. From the perspective of chemistry and physics, equilibrium is a bit dull—at least to Cheng-Chien Chen, ...

Chaperones are specialized proteins in the cell that help other proteins to reach their functional 3-D shapes, which correspond to the states preferred at thermodynamic equilibrium. But a new study by ...

New uncertainty: A relationship between time and dissipation rate has been established in the laboratory. (Courtesy: iStock Greyfebruary) A “speed limit” on changes in non-equilibrium systems that was ...

Approaching quantum advantage: researchers have simulated a phase transition on a 20-qubit quantum processor. (Courtesy: iStock/agsandrew) A 20-qubit quantum processor has been used to simulate the ...

Solidification processes taking place in shape castings, ingots, or welding joints are always non-equilibrium. An important consequence of this fact is dendritic liquation (microsegregation) a direct ...

Researchers used the Frontera supercomputer to explore light-induced superconductivity a pulsed laser, which is believed to be a promising route to room-temperature superconductors. They found that ...
