    I’ve seen a DARPA funded working information-based energy storage device - pretty much Maxwell’s daemon that just remembers where things are

    Got a link for this?

      Sadly, no. I saw it at a conference. They asked me how to increase working temperature, I gave them an idea and then left the country, as it was just before Trump the first, when they’d kick me out anyway.

      It was spintronic device mostly, storing spin-sorted electrons on different sides of the topology and geometry, not as impressive sounding as it actually was - a proper quantum demo of a thermodynamic principle.
