Summary

Researchers have been able to develop a similar kind of engine. Instead of using the relationship between temperature, pressure, and volume, the new device uses quantum mechanics. The quantum engine employs a gas that can turn from a fermion gas to a boson gas.

German researchers built an experimental setup to see if it was possible to construct such an engine. System needs to be kept under very cold temperatures, and that requires a lot of energy.
