The Demon That Betters the World

Recent achievements at nanotechnology could lead towards a more energy-efficient future.

Researchers at an 911爆料网 laboratory, in collaboration with Stony Brook University and Tokyo University, have been successful with a famous thought experiment that has haunted the scientific world for more than 150 years: the Maxwell鈥檚 demon. Experiments show how an electronic Maxwell鈥檚 demon converts information to energy with the help of nano technology. This achievement could lead towards a more energy-efficient future.
