Silica‐Supported Mononuclear Methyl‐Platinum Complexes Stabilized by Trimethylphosphine—Synthesis, Structure, and Reactions Under Reducing Conditions

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The article describes the synthesis and molecular transformations of a silica‐supported bis(phosphine)methylplatinum(II) complex under reactive (H2, CO) and inert gas atmospheres. The focus lies on the stabilizing effect of the sterically non‐demanding trimethylphosphine ligand, which alters the reactivity of the surface sites, compared to other ...

All Shook Up: Fluctuations, Maxwell’s Demon and the Thermodynamics of Computation

Entropy, 2013
The most successful exorcism of Maxwell’s demon is Smoluchowski’s 1912 observation that thermal fluctuations would likely disrupt the operation of any molecular-scale demonic machine.

Optical Multiphase Conductivity Inline Probe: Characterization and Analysis of Foam Structures

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
A novel inline probe combines optical imaging and electrical conductivity within a shared measurement volume, enabling simultaneous determination of foam structure and composition. The method provides real‐time access to cell size distributions and liquid fractions under process conditions. ABSTRACT For inline process analysis of foams, a novel optical

Orientational Effects in the Low Pair Continuum of Aluminium

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We compare the predictions of the dynamic structure factor (DSF) of ambient polycrystalline aluminium from time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in the pair continuum regime to recent ultrahigh resolution x‐ray Thomson scattering measurements, collected at the European XFEL.

Erasure of a nonequilibrium memory beyond Landauer's bound using levitated optomechanics with spatio-temporal optical control

Physical Review Research
Landauer’s principle provides a deep connection between information processing and thermodynamics by setting a lower limit on the energy consumption and heat production of logically irreversible transformations.

Elementary Steps of Energy Conversion in Strongly Correlated Systems: Beyond Single Quasiparticles and Rigid Bands

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This article reviews the fundamental consequences of strong correlations on excitations and elementary steps of energy conversion leading to new opportunities to control energy conversion. Examples include friction at surfaces, thermal transport, and photovoltaic energy conversion.

Evidence for Dark Energy Driven by Star Formation: Information Dark Energy?

Entropy
Evidence is presented for dark energy resulting directly from star formation. A survey of stellar mass density measurements, SMD(a), as a function of universe scale size a, was found to be described by a simple CPL w0 − wa parameterisation that was in ...

Meniscus‐guided organic semiconductor single crystals: From fluid dynamics to morphology control and multifunctional applications

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Centered on the multiscale meniscus, this review dissects mass transport in meniscus‐guided coating into parallel and lateral components. By analyzing the balance of multiple factors during crystallization, it establishes a clear morphology‐performance relationship.

From Noise to Information: A Thermodynamic Epistemology of Brandolini’s Asymmetry.

Science & Philosophy
Brandolini’s Law, observes that refuting nonsense requires much more effort than producing it. Despite its popularity, the principle has remained metaphorical.
