New ‘Gambling Carnot Engine’ Challenges 200-Year-Old Thermodynamic Law
Almost 200 years after the Carnot limit defined the maximum efficiency of heat engines, scientists have introduced a microscopic design that seems to break the rule. Called the “Gambling Carnot Engine,” it works by monitoring a single trapped particle and stepping in at just the right instant. This clever feedback process allows the engine to c...

Scientists Calculate the Risk of Someone Being Killed by Space Junk
Space debris has been known to cause injury and damage to property, even though no one is known to have died from an accident involving “space junk”. However, with the increasing number of satellites, rockets and probes being launched into space, researchers have investigated the risk of someone being killed by space debris. Here’s what they ...
