Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a groundbreaking theoretical framework for quantum 'light engines,' bringing quantum physics and thermodynamics into closer harmony. This discovery helps redefine how we capture energy, showing that even microscopic waste heat can be harnessed to do useful work.
