日本の理化学研究所など8か国の国際研究チームは、宇宙創成の際にできたとされる「反物質」の一種、反水素原子を瓶の中に閉じこめることに初めて成功した。
(中略)
実験後の計測では、計38個の反水素原子が0・2秒間存在したことを確認した。
反物質は、ダン・ブラウンの小説「天使と悪魔」で、ごく微量でも大規模な爆発を起こす爆弾の材料として登場するが、今回の手法では短時間に消滅してしまい、爆弾に使える量をためるのは不可能という。

中央大学と東大は、微細加工技術とサブミクロンスケールのリアルタイム制御システムの組み合わせによりマクスウェルの悪魔を実験で実現することに成功した。
詳しい解説は識者の皆様におまかせするとして、Nature Physics に掲載された論文の abstract をかいつまむと、レオ・シラードによるシラードのエンジンを実装しましたという事であろうか。観測情報をもとにブラウン粒子を非平衡操作することで、粒子は電場によりらせん階段状のポテンシャルをのぼり、操作に要するより大きな自由エネルギーを得たというもの。これにより一般化 Jarzynski 方程式を証明することができ、情報を熱に変換する「情報-熱機関」の新たな基本原理を提案することができる、というものらしい。

反物質には今でもしょっちゅう悩まされておる。
ブ~ンと耳元でうるさくてのぅ。
おゝ! マクスウェルか。あやつ、まだ生きちょったか!?
あれは、わしのダチ公じゃ。
昔、いっしょにジュクやブクロで鳴らしたもんよ。
「悪魔のようなあいつ」と、そりゃァもう恐れられたもんじゃッた。
ブラウン粒子(りゅうこ)か? 当時人気ナンバーワンの踊り子でのぅ。
柱にまとわりついて、らせん階段みたいにこうクルクル回るんで、GIどもが「ポテンシャルが上がるゥ」とかナントカ、ほざいておったわい。
あー、懐かしいのぅ・・・
いい時代じゃったぁ・・・

None other than Harpo Marx composed the music for this lovely piece (some sources have said that he also played harp on the track). Per the Gershwin 100 website: “His lyricist for this song, Gerda Beilenson (1903-1985), was the wife of the Marx Brothers’ lawyer, Larry Beilenson, who also represented Ronald Reagan, Greta Garbo, Jimmy Stewart, and most importantly for our story, Mario Lanza. The Beilensons showed the song to Lanza and he ultimately recorded it on his Christmas album in 1951.”

【天使よ故郷を見よ】
てんしよこきょうをみよ
Look Homeward, Angel
アメリカの小説家トマス・ウルフの自伝的小説の第1作。
1929年刊。作者を思わせる青年ユージン・ガントがノースカロライナの山間の町で生れ育ち,地元の州立大学を経てハーバード大学入学を決意して出発するまでを扱う。<天使よ故郷を見よ(テンシヨコキョウヲミヨ)とは? 意味や使い方 – コトバンク より一部引用>

トマス・ウルフは、ケルアックの初期文学観に最も大きな影響を与えた作家だ。ケルアックがニューヨークへやって来た理由のひとつに、自分の文学的ヒーローであるウルフがこの街で『Look Homeward, Angle(邦題「天使よ、故郷を見よ」)』を書いたということがある。
ウルフはこの街に暮らし、この街で文章を書いた。そしてニューヨーク大学で教えてもいた。1928年、ウルフは西15丁目27番地にあるプラウンストーンの建物の2階の、表通りに面していない裏側の部屋に移り住んだ。そしてそこで、使いっぱなしの汚れた皿や洗濯されずに積み重なったままの衣服にまみれたその部屋で、彼は名著『Look Homeward, Angle』を書いたのである。彼自身が持ち込んだ重く不細工なダイニングテーブルの上で、彼はその長編を書いたのだ。<ビル・モーガン著 今井栄一訳『ビート・ジェネレーション ジャック・ケルアックと旅するニューヨーク』100ページ より一部引用>
