An Explanation of the Landauer bound and its ineffectiveness with regard to multivalued logic
Technical Transactions, 2020 We discuss, using recent results on the thermodynamics of multivalued logic, the difficulties and pitfalls of how to apply the Landauer’s principle to thermodynamic computer memory models. The presentation is based on Szilard’s version of Maxwell’s demon

Brownian Computation is Thermodynamically Irreversible [PDF]
, 2013 Brownian computers are supposed to illustrate how logically reversible mathematical operations can be computed by physical processes that are thermodynamically reversible or nearly so.

Maxwell’s Demon in Photonic Systems
, 2018 Photons are massless, noninteracting particles, and thermodynamics seems to be completely inappropriate in their description. Here we present two examples of the opposite: connecting thermodynamics with information through Maxwell’s Demon provides ...

DEMONIC programming: a computational language for single-particle equilibrium thermodynamics, and its formal semantics. [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2015 Maxwell's Demon, 'a being whose faculties are so sharpened that he can follow every molecule in its course', has been the centre of much debate about its abilities to violate the second law of thermodynamics.

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.

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.

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 ...

The Evil Enemy: Belief in Conspiracy Theories Predicts Attitudes to War
European Journal of Social Psychology, Volume 55, Issue 7, Page 1420-1435, December 2025.ABSTRACT Political leaders often justify war with conspiracy theories. How effective are such conspiracy theories in gathering public support for war? The present research has investigated the effects of conspiracy theories on people's war‐related attitudes.

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract As nations seek to expand protected area (PA) networks to cover 30% of land and seas by 2030 (30×30), there is an urgent need for systematic conservation planning and spatial prioritization that considers the broad range of ecological and socioeconomic factors influencing the persistence of biodiversity.
