Membrane Transport, Molecular Machines, and Maxwell's Demon
ChemSystemsChemThe spontaneous generation of transmembrane gradients is an important fundamental research goal for artificial nanotechnology. The active transport processes that give rise to such gradients directly mirror the famous Maxwell’s Demon thought experiment ...

A Friendly Guide to Exorcising Maxwell’s Demon
PRX QuantumThe birth, life, and death of Maxwell’s demon provoked a profound discussion about the interplay between thermodynamics, computation, and information. Even after its resolution, the demon continues to inspire a multidisciplinary field.

Resilient Flow Regimes in the Rio Grande—Río Bravo Basin
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water is essential for human development and is an indispensable resource for economic activity and a country's growth. However, current water practices, along with increasing land‐use change, climate change, and agricultural practices, have significantly altered the hydrological cycle and water availability.

An autonomous and reversible Maxwell's demon
, 2013 Building on a model introduced by Mandal and Jarzynski [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A., {\bf 109}, (2012) 11641], we present a simple version of an autonomous reversible Maxwell's demon. By changing the entropy of a tape consisting of a sequence of bits

Weaponizing Nature, Naturalizing Violence: Anthropologies of Ecofascism
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 224-236, March 2026.ABSTRACT After decades of denial and obstruction, the global Right is increasingly willing to acknowledge that climate change is a threat to lives and lifeways everywhere. Moreover, some seize on the specter of ecological collapse to advance fascistic politics.

Physical Review E, 2020 An autonomous out-of-equilibrium Maxwell's demon is used to reverse the natural direction of the heat flux between two electric circuits kept at different temperatures and coupled by the electric thermal noise. The demon does not process any information,

Quantum Carnot Bound from Petz Recovery Maps
Advanced Physics Research, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2026.A quantum bound (ηP$\eta_P$, the Petz Limit) is derived for the efficiency (η$\eta$) of a heat engine utilizing two‐level quantum systems (qubits) as the working substance. This limit, based on Petz recovery maps, is stricter than the classical Carnot limit (ηC$\eta_C$) for irreversible cycles.

Modeling Maxwell's demon with a microcanonical Szilard engine
, 2011 Following recent work by Marathe and Parrondo [PRL, 104, 245704 (2010)], we construct a classical Hamiltonian system whose energy is reduced during the adiabatic cycling of external parameters, when initial conditions are sampled microcanonically ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aims Climate change poses severe threats to biodiversity in Australia, particularly for species already at risk from other factors, such as bluetongue lizards (Tiliqua and Cyclodomorphus spp.). Here we model climate‐driven changes in suitable climatic conditions for bluetongue lizards to 2060 and 2100 under multiple climate scenarios and ...

Information and flux in a feedback controlled Brownian ratchet
, 2008 We study a feedback control version of the flashing Brownian ratchet, in which the application of the flashing potential depends on the state of the particles to be controlled.
