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

Memory erasure in small systems
, 2009 We consider an overdamped nanoparticle in a driven double-well potential as a generic model of an erasable one-bit memory. We study in detail the statistics of the heat dissipated during an erasure process and show that full erasure may be achieved by ...

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 ...

From Nano Robotic Manipulation to Nano Manipulation Robot
SmartBot, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2025.This review addresses a critical research gap by summarizing advancements in nano robotic manipulation, tracing its evolution from passive observation to autonomous nanomanipulation robots. It explores the interplay of observation, construction, and operation, unveiling fundamental principles of atomic‐scale control. The review establishes a systematic

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.

Fluctuation Theorems of Brownian Particles Controlled by a Maxwell's Demon
, 2006 We study the stochastic dynamics of Brownian particles in a heat bath and subject to an active feedback control by an external, Maxwell's demon-like agent.

Autonomous Artificial Molecular Motors and Pumps
ChemSystemsChem, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2025.Autonomous energy consumption is the only way to introduce molecular motors into more sophisticated, larger systems, capable of life‐like behavior. We reviewed a selection of the most recent advances in the field molecular motors focusing on those capable of performing continuous and autonomous motion under constant experimental conditions, that is ...

William A. Robson and the Making of English Administrative Law
The Modern Law Review, Volume 88, Issue 5, Page 911-943, September 2025.This article examines the role of William A. Robson (1895‐1980) in the making of English administrative law. Criticising English common lawyers who believed that the growing responsibility of officials in law‐making and dispute resolution was a symptom of ‘administrative lawlessness’ that was sapping the foundations of English liberties, Robson argued ...

Judicial Review of the Improper Policy Implementation of Treaties
The Modern Law Review, Volume 88, Issue 5, Page 944-972, September 2025.In recent years the courts of England and Wales have come to recognise a new iteration of judicial review which this article terms ‘review of improper policy implementation of treaties’ or ‘RIPIT’. RIPIT enables a reviewing court to scrutinise a domestic policy document which is promulgated for the purpose of securing compliance with a legislatively ...
