Maxwell's Demon Can Extract Energy From Hidden Memories, Study Finds
A new study suggests Maxwell's demon, the famous 19th-century thought experiment in thermodynamics, can extract usable energy from a system's hidden information, or what researchers call hidden memories. The finding deepens the connection between information theory and thermodynamics, showing that erased or unseen information can still play a role in energy extraction, with potential implications for physics and information-based technologies.
Why now: A new physics study is challenging expectations about the classic Maxwell's demon thought experiment and its link between information and energy.
