Researchers Propose Approach to Locally Circumvent Second Law of Thermodynamics

The Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that entropy always increases, is the most inviolable law for over a century and a half of physics. Chaos reigns supreme in this universe. Recently researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Argonne National Laboratory claimed that they have potentially found a small loophole in this well-known Second Law.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?

In recent years, the IoT is rapidly being introduced into almost all sectors, but it has particular importance in the EV industry.
