Stephen Whitelam, a researcher whose work spans thermodynamic theory and machine learning, has described a framework for ...

In biophysics, the kinetic states of molecules play a determining role in the metabolic and physiological processes in which they take part. Now, a new article specifies for the first time the levels ...

Researchers generated images from noise, using orders of magnitude less energy than current generative AI models require.

Researchers at the Federal University of ABC, in Brazil, have made a major breakthrough: they've confirmed that thermodynamic processes cannot be reversed, even in a quantum system. This revelation ...
