Marine Conservation Leadership: Does Australia Walk the Talk?
ABSTRACT The conservation of Australia's extraordinary marine biodiversity has been prominently championed over the past three decades by successive Federal and State Governments, who have consistently portrayed the nation as a global leader in marine protection. Here, we question whether this reputation is justified.

Chemically Fueled Active Transport
We report a synthetic system that uses chemical potential differences similar to biological systems to transport small molecules across a hydrophobic barrier against a concentration gradient. Instead of a complex pumping machinery, transport happens through the transient activation of transporter molecules.

DEM simulation of the granular Maxwell’s Demon under zero gravity
In this work, granular segregation in a two-compartment cell (Maxwell’s Demon) under zero gravity is studied numerically by DEM simulation for comparison with the experimental observation in satellite SJ-10.

Maxwell’s Demon in MLP-Mixer: towards transferable adversarial attacks
Models based on MLP-Mixer architecture are becoming popular, but they still suffer from adversarial examples. Although it has been shown that MLP-Mixer is more robust to adversarial attacks compared to convolutional neural networks (CNNs), there has been

Universal validity of the second law of information thermodynamics
Adiabatic measurements, followed by feedback and erasure protocols, have often been considered as a model to embody Maxwell’s Demon paradox and to study the interplay between thermodynamics and information processing.

A quantum Szilard engine without heat from a thermal reservoir
We study a quantum Szilard engine that is not powered by heat drawn from a thermal reservoir, but rather by projective measurements. The engine is constituted of a system ${ \mathcal S }$ , a weight ${ \mathcal W }$ , and a Maxwell demon ${ \mathcal D }$

Macroscopic Manifestation of Microscopic Entropy Production: Space-Dependent Intermittence
We study a spatial diffusion process generated by velocity fluctuations of intermittent nature. We note that intermittence reduces the entropy production rate while enhancing the diffusion strength.

Role of measurement-feedback separation in autonomous Maxwell's demons
We introduce an information heat engine that is autonomous (i.e., without any time-dependent parameter) but has separated measurement and feedback processes.

Identifying functional thermodynamics in autonomous Maxwellian ratchets
We introduce a family of Maxwellian Demons for which correlations among information bearing degrees of freedom can be calculated exactly and in compact analytical form.
