Boosting the efficiency of quantum heat engines
May 6, 2022
A team of researchers
from IFISC (UIB-CSIC) has demonstrated that a quantum chiral conductor driven
by an alternating current voltage can operate with efficiencies much higher
than the hitherto insurmountable Carnot limit. In the paper, published in
Nature Communications, the ...

Disease outbreak simulations reveal influence of “seeding” by multiple infected people
Oct. 14, 2021
A new
computational analysis suggests that, beyond the initial effect of one infected
person arriving and spreading disease to a previously uninfected population,
the continuous arrival of more infected individuals has a significant influence
on the evolution and severity of ...
