This figure shows six protein structures and their respective information, including name, Protein Data Bank (PDB) identifier, and sequence length. This set of six proteins have been selected to represent the diversity in naturally occurring proteins, such as varying three-dimensional configurations and structural disorder.

A PRX Quantum study details a theoretical framework that reconciles the second law of thermodynamics with quantum mechanics and shows how macroscopic thermodynamic principles emerge even from pure quantum states.

At the top is a blue rectangle that contains a chain of six circles with arrows inside, from left to right pointing down, down, down, up, down, and down. A larger arrow points from this rectangle down through a dashed oval. This oval contains the equation i ∂tρt = [H(t),ρt]. From here the arrow points down at an orange rectangle with another set of six circles, this time with arrows pointing from left to right up, down, up, up, down, and up. Below the rectangle is the equation ΔSTD ≥ 0.

A microscope image of heart muscle cells with nine marked by numbers, each surrounded by a dashed oval marking where electrical activity was measured in 60-second increments. Below the image, signals corresponding to each cell show sharp pulses at several locations (especially for cells 1, 2, and 3).
