The second law of thermodynamics, a cornerstone of modern physics, states that entropy—a measure of disorder—never spontaneously decreases. It governs everything from the efficiency of engines to the ...

Researchers from the Nagoya University and Slovak Academy of Sciences have made a ground-breaking discovery that sheds new ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or, ...

While you can’t change the humidity levels outdoors, you can take steps to control humidity levels inside your home. This can improve your comfort and health, and can even prevent damage to home ...

Essentially, our bodies are more chilled when cold days have high humidity. This concept may seem counterintuitive at first, because higher humidity actually forces our bodies to evaporate less ...

In a mesmerising blend of art and mathematics, a research student from University College London (UCL) has recently gained widespread attention for creating intricate images solely through ...

A team of researchers at ETH Zurich has developed a new, moisture-binding material. If this component is used in walls and ceilings, it reduces the humidity indoors. Credit: Pietro Odaglia / Josef ...

EASTERN IOWA — When humidity is the topic of conversation, it's usually about how much hotter it makes us feel in the middle of the summer. However, the same idea is also true in the winter.
