...“Concerning Demons... Is the production of an inequality of temperature their only occupation? No... demons can produce a difference in pressure by allowing all particles going in one direction while stopping all those going the other way. This reduces the demon to a valve” 😈 tinyurl.com/3ja25xfz

Our new video, created by Stuart Jantzen (Biocinematics), depicts the original Maxwell’s Demon thought experiment 😈 tinyurl.com/3ja25xfz, the archetypal information ratchet that inspires how we design molecular motors & pumps: tinyurl.com/msn8c2an; tinyurl.com/yj53rfvm; tinyurl.com/557vcubt 👹

Well it’s not a knot but as far as I know it’s a new topology. It’s like cyclising the thread of a daisy chain back onto the macrocycle it’s attached to.
