Today we want to explain what the zero law of thermodynamics consists of, also known as the law of thermal equilibrium.

Finding a magnetic monopole, a single pole magnet, is like looking for a 'magnetic' needle in a haystack. However, everything indicates that it exists.

In this section, you will find informative pieces on Physics prepared by doctors from the International University of La Rioja.

Thermodynamics is a part of Physics with great applicability in all kinds of physical, chemical and biological processes. It can be rightly said that the laws of Thermodynamics apply everywhere. But what are these laws?
