Quantum Breakthrough Challenges Thermodynamics at Atomic Level

Researchers have discovered that the fundamental Carnot principle of thermodynamics doesn’t apply at atomic scales where quantum correlations dominate. This breakthrough could lead to microscopic quantum motors with unprecedented efficiency for medical and industrial applications.

Quantum Mechanics Redefines Thermodynamic Limits

In a groundbreaking development that challenges classical physics, quantum mechanics has reportedly overcome the long-standing limitations of thermodynamics at atomic scales. According to research published in Science Advances, physicists from the University of Stuttgart have demonstrated that the Carnot principle, a cornerstone of thermodynamics for two centuries, doesn’t govern the behavior of strongly correlated atomic systems.
