Maxwell's demon shown to exploit hidden information
Original: Maxwell’s demon learns to exploit hidden information
A new study reports that Maxwell's demon, the famous thought experiment in thermodynamics, has been shown capable of exploiting hidden information to seemingly violate the second law of physics. Researchers say the finding deepens understanding of how information and energy interact in microscopic systems, renewing a debate that has run since the paradox was first proposed in the nineteenth century.
Why now: New research on a famous physics thought experiment has just been published, drawing attention from the science community.
