Quantacell: Powerful charging of quantum batteries

open access: yes, 2015
We study the problem of charging a quantum battery in finite time. We demonstrate an analytical optimal protocol for the case of a single qubit. Extending this analysis to an array of N qubits, we demonstrate that an N-fold advantage in power per qubit ...

Extractable Work from Correlations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Work and quantum correlations are two fundamental resources in thermodynamics and quantum information theory. In this work we study how to use correlations among quantum systems to optimally store work.

Enhancing road safety behaviour using a psychological and spiritual approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Main causes of accident is due to driver itself that is influenced by their bad attitude while driving. Human attitude is closely related to the human psychology. Apart from that, spiritual aspect also influence human attitude.

Self‐Maintained Thermal Charging Cells for the Efficient Harvesting of Waste Heat at Elevated Temperatures

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 3, May 2026.
Thermal charging cells (TCS) face two main challenges that limit their practical applications: 1) Still lacking the systems suitable for operation under higher temperature environments, and 2) there are limitations in the self‐sustaining performance of continuous discharge under temperature differences, which holds critical significance for the real ...

"Blue energy" from ion adsorption and electrode charging in sea- and river water

open access: yes, 2010
A huge amount of entropy is produced at places where fresh water and seawater mix, for example at river mouths. This mixing process is a potentially enormous source of sustainable energy, provided it is harnessed properly, for instance by a cyclic ...

Techno‐Economic Analysis of Hydrocarbon‐CO2 Binary Mixtures in Heat Pump‐Based Thermal Energy Storages

open access: yesEnergy Technology, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Heat‐pump charging of Carnot batteries with zeotropic large temperature glide CO2–alkane mixtures enables charging from ambient to ≈398.15 K with improved heat‐exchanger temperature matching at moderate pressure ratios. The highest COP occurs near xCO2 ≈ 0.15, whereas cost and throttling losses rise monotonically with CO2 content; butane isomers ...
