@ifimacuam.bsky.social🍿Have you heard of a quantum heat engine? Would you like to know what it is? Janine Splettstösser from Chalmers University of Technology explains how she approaches its definition. On our YT channel 📺 @cienciasuam.bsky.social @uam.es
@ifimacuam.bsky.socialGracias a la @uccuam.bsky.social
@ifimacuam.bsky.social🗞️Por primera vez, investigadores liderados por la

@ifimacuam.bsky.social🎵 What does the nanoworld sound like? During our workshop at European Researchers' Night
@uam.es , we explored how sound is captured and listened to, and how this connects with the way an AFM works. 🤔 #nightmadrid #nocheeuropeadelosinvestigadores

@ifimacuam.bsky.socialHe held his chair at the University of Liverpool until 1973, after which he became Professor of Solid State Physics at the University of Salford, while retaining an office at the University of Liverpool, where he was made emeritus professor in 1976.
@ifimacuam.bsky.socialFröhlich was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1951, received the Max Planck Medal in 1972 and was awarded honorary degrees by several universities.
@ifimacuam.bsky.socialThis phenomenon is now known as Fröhlich coherence, and the resulting collective state is referred to as a Fröhlich condensate.
@ifimacuam.bsky.socialIn 1968, he showed that a set of coupled polar oscillators, supplied with energy above a threshold rate, can channel that energy into a single lowest-frequency mode rather than distributing it thermally across all modes.
@ifimacuam.bsky.socialFrom the late 1960s onwards, Fröhlich turned his attention to biological systems.
@ifimacuam.bsky.socialThe independence of Fröhlich's isotope-effect prediction from the experimental results has been questioned, given that Bardeen's later accounts suggest that he may have become aware of them shortly before submitting his paper. Fröhlich never publicly addressed this.

@ifimacuam.bsky.socialThe 'Fröhlich Hamiltonian' later formed the basis of the ground state from which Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer derived their Nobel Prize-winning BCS theory in 1956.
@ifimacuam.bsky.socialThis so-called 'isotope effect' was confirmed experimentally within months in 1950, finally convincing the physics community that the origin of superconductivity had been discovered after two decades of failed attempts.
