We propose a new inequality that we call the conditional ageing inequality (CAIN). The CAIN is a slight generalization to non-equilibrium situations of the Second Law of thermodynamics. The goal of this paper is to study the consequences of…
In this paper we investigate the feasibility of Zeeman slowing calcium monofluoride (CaF) molecules originating from a cryogenic buffer gas cell. We measure the $A^2\Pi_{1/2} (v=0, J=\frac{1}{2}) - X^2\Sigma_{1/2} (v=0, N=1)$ hyperfine…

Signal transduction in living cells is vital to maintain life itself, where information transfer in noisy environment plays a significant role. In a rather different context, the recent intensive researches of "Maxwell's demon" - a feedback…

Polyelectrolytes, such as polyacrylic acid (PAA), can effectively mitigate $\mathrm{CaCO_3}$ scale formation. Despite their success as antiscalants, the underlying mechanism of $\mathrm{Ca^{2+}}$ binding to polyelectrolyte chains remains…

To induce transport, detailed balance must be broken. A common mechanism is to bias the dynamics with a thermodynamic fuel, such as chemical energy. An intriguing, alternative strategy is for a Maxwell demon to effect the bias using…
Sensors are the first element of the pathways that control the response of cells to their environment. After chemical, the next most important cue is mechanical, and protein complexes that produce or enable a chemical signal in response to…
