But who was Einstein a fan of? James Clerk Maxwell. Who? Oh, he's only the scientist responsible for explaining the forces behind the radio in your car, the magnets on your fridge, the heat of a ...

perhaps solving the thermodynamic riddle posited by Scots physicist James Clark Maxwell in 1867. Maxwell's Demon is one of those Victorian thought experiments that could easily become the critical ...

In 1867, physicist James Clerk Maxwell was pondering possible exceptions to the second law of thermodynamics, which says things must always flow from hot to cold unless there is some energy source ...

Physicists have now probed the memory of Maxwell’s demon, a devious, hypothetical beast. By peeking at information retained by a laboratory version of the creature, scientists confirmed the role ...

Maxwell's demon was formulated by Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell in 1867. It is a thought experiment wherein he claims that the Second Law of Thermodynamics can be violated theoretically.

Now scientists at the University of Edinburgh, inspired by Maxwell's thought experiment in 1867, have been able to create such a "nanomachine" for the first time with their own "demon" inside it ...

Equations developed by renowned mathematician and physicist James Clerk Maxwell have helped to reveal how crystals can be manipulated to produce a distinctive form of light wave. The phenomena ...
