  Dublin, Ireland (SPX) Aug 23, 2019 Theoretical physicists at Trinity College Dublin are among an international collaboration that has built the world's smallest engine - which, as a single calcium ion, is approximately ten billion times smaller than a car engine. Work performed by Professor John Goold's QuSys group in Trinity's School of Physics describes the science behind this tiny motor. The research, published in international journal Physical Review Letters, explains how random fluctuations affect the operation of microscopic ... read more |
