The Japanese collaborative team of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) and Osaka University presents a novel method for tuning hydrodynamic interfacial instability through a ...

Entropy production lies at the heart of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, a field that examines systems away from equilibrium where continuous energy flows and irreversible processes dominate. In such ...

At this event, we will be giving two awards: the Ruth Lynden-Bell prize for best PhD thesis to Dr Emanuele Penocchio. the Early Career prize to Dr Sarah Loos. This "Non-equilibrium thermodynamics” ...

Although most natural and synthetic processes prefer to settle into equilibrium—a state of unchanging balance without potential or energy—it is within the realm of non-equilibrium conditions where new ...

The Earth system is remarkably different from its planetary neighbours in that it shows pronounced, strong global cycling of matter. These global cycles result in the maintenance of a unique ...

Computational methods that can simulate reactions, how a molecule behaves in a certain environment and what properties a material will exhibit (amongst other areas) have been gaining interest in ...

Experiments and thermodynamic equilibrium calculations were performed to investigate the behavior of Cd during sewage sludge incineration. The chemical equilibrium calculations indicated that chlorine ...

Researchers have made a breakthrough in applying the first law of thermodynamics to complex systems, rewriting the way we ...

Schematic diagram of the self-assembly of cyclodextrin-azobenzene complexes in the dark (top of figure) and under the action of light (full figure). The circles next to the structures of the complexes ...
