Integral membrane proteins rule the border between the cell and the outside world. They mediate diverse forms of communication and transport across the membrane, develop intimate contacts with the ...

Variational principles provide a powerful and unifying framework to derive the governing equations of systems by optimising an action functional. Traditionally applied in classical mechanics via ...

The Laws of Thermodynamics are the foundation of heat transfer and energy work. When any engineer is designing or implementing a system, the consideration of heat loss or energy produced is influenced ...

Consciousness is one of the brain’s most enigmatic mysteries. A new theory, inspired by thermodynamics, takes a high-level perspective of how neural networks in the brain transiently organize to give ...

Abstract: The aviation industry is undergoing significant improvements in aircraft efficiency, driven by technological innovation and evolving performance demands. In this lecture, we will explore the ...

In the early 1970s, people studying general relativity, our modern theory of gravity, noticed rough similarities between the properties of black holes and the laws of thermodynamics. Stephen Hawking ...

Craig Callender worries that the analogy between black holes and thermodynamics has been stretched too far. In the early 1970s, people studying general relativity, our modern theory of gravity, ...
