I present results for the thermodynamics of SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. This study relies on a new approach to investigate thermal quantum field theories based on considering the quantum system in a moving reference frame. This framework provides us with much more efficient observables to measure the thermodynamic features of a quantum theory by numerical simulations on the lattice. I show the results of an accurate study of the equation of state and preliminary results about the renormalization of the energy-momentum tensor.
