Maxwell's Demon Revisited: Gatekeepers of Entropy and the Information Paradox

A deep dive into the 150-year-old Maxwell’s demon thought experiment: how a tiny gatekeeper at a microscopic door seemed to beat the second law of thermodynamics, why information has physical meaning, and how modern ideas from Szilárd, Brillouin, Landauer, and Bennett resolve the paradox. We trace the origin, the debates, and the nanoworld where tiny 'demons' still shape energy, computation, and the boundaries of physics.
