In a groundbreaking development, Japanese scientists have achieved a feat long thought impossible: surpassing the traditional thermodynamic limit known as the Carnot efficiency. Through the use of quantum states that bypass thermalization, they have ushered in new possibilities for transforming waste heat into electricity, potentially altering future energy harvesting technologies.

A groundbreaking black hole merger has provided the clearest evidence to date supporting the theories of Einstein and Hawking. By meticulously tracking the cosmic event, scientists confirmed hypotheses about mass, spin, and the event horizon, linking fundamental physics concepts.
