Thermodynamics

Behind thermodynamics lie the movements of atoms and molecules following the laws of motion learned in the first volume.

Maxwell's Demon defies the laws of thermodynamics.

Thermodynamics is a branch of physics which deals with the energy and work of a system.

Meteorologists are people who know a tremendous amount about geophysics, thermodynamics and climatology, and almost nothing about tomorrow's weather.

The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that when two objects are separately in thermodynamic equilibrium with a third object, they are in equilibrium with each other.

“3D photochemistry plays a huge role because it provides heating or cooling, which can affect the thermodynamics and perhaps the atmospheric composition of a planetary system,” Chen said.

The top-hatted “drinking bird,” once a fixture in science classrooms for demonstrating the basics of thermodynamics, is making a surprising comeback — as the inspiration for a new clean-energy generator that could one day power your watch and phone.
