Spaceborne Canopy Height Products Should Be Complemented With Airborne Laser Scanning Data: Toward a European Canopy Height Model

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Measuring and mapping vegetation structure is essential for understanding the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and for informing environmental policies. Recent years have seen a growing demand for high‐resolution data on vegetation structure, driving their prediction at fine resolutions (1–30 m) at state, continental, and global spatial ...

Buffer‐Mediated Catalyst‐Free Strecker Reaction Toward Enzymatic Implementation

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2025.
Hydroxynitrile lyases (HNLs) are proven to accept imines as substrates and to catalyze the formation of α‐aminonitriles. The process results in the precursors of natural and unnatural α‐amino acids after extraction, without chromatography. This new application of HNL enzymes in Strecker reaction is an example for biocatalysis in multicomponent ...

Maxwell’s Demon, Szilard’s Engine and Quantum Measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
We propose and analyze a quantum version of Szilard's ``one-molecule engine.'' In particular, we recover, in the quantum context, Szilard's conclusion concerning the free energy ``cost'' of measurements: $ΔF \geq k_B T\ln2$ per bit of information.

Demons: Maxwell's demon, Szilard's engine and Landauer's erasure–dissipation [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics: Conference Series, 2014
This talk addressed the following questions in the public debate at HoTPI: (i) energy dissipation limits of switches, memories and control; (ii) whether reversible computers are possible, or does their concept violate thermodynamics; (iii) Szilard's engine, Maxwell's demon and Landauer's principle: corrections to their exposition in the literature; (iv)

The Demon in a Vacuum Tube

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
In the present paper, several issues concerning the second law of thermodynamics, Maxwell’s demon and Landauer’s principle are dealt with. I argue that if the demon and the system on which it operates without dissipation of external energy are made of ...

The Broken Engine of Szilard

open access: yes, 2014
A crucial step in the operation of the Szilard engine is the isothermal expansion of a single particle system. This expansion, seemingly a natural consequence, is unable to proceed when the piston is considered appropriately to be a thermal system subject to fluctuations in energy at a constant temperature. The Szilard engine is thus unable to complete

Contactless Tracking of Decomposition in Self‐Reporting Ceramic Cr‐Al‐B Coatings

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 12, June 23, 2025.
Proof of concept for contactless tracking of decomposition in self‐reporting ceramic Cr‐Al‐B coatings in extreme environments by contactless resistivity measurements is demonstrated. To verify the results, high resolution in situ and ex situ methods are employed.
