If we want to find a way to exploit the vacuum energy, then first we have to understand what it truly is. Whatever we find ...

Say goodbye to traditional photovoltaics. While the Austrians use caffeine to boost their energy, their buildings have solar ...

There may be an infinite amount of energy locked in the vacuum of space-time. So could we ever harness this energy for ...

Today I want to talk about a specific aspect of fusion—and that’s how to confine hydrogen fusion in a way that leads to a net energy output. I want to talk about how to bottle a star.

Absolute zero cannot be reached -- unless you have an infinite amount of energy or an infinite amount of time. Scientists in Vienna (Austria) studying the connection between thermodynamics and ...

We’re not getting to absolute zero anytime soon. The temperature at which all energy in an object drops to zero, our inability to reach it is enshrined in the third law of thermodynamics.

However, we can't extract energy out of the vacuum and use it to do work. That's because whatever its value is, it is the lowest energy state possible for the universe.

But due to the fundamental uncertainties of quantum mechanics, even this ground state has an energy associated with it, so you still run into an infinite amount of energy. However, we can't ...
