| Abstract | Enrich was run and no catalogue supplied one. Crossref, OpenAlex, DataCite (404), Unpaywall, dblp, OpenAIRE and Europe PMC were all asked on 2026-08-31; Semantic Scholar answered 429. Nature deposits no abstract for this letter with Crossref, and none of the others holds one. Transcribing it from the copy is not possible either: the record has no copy, its only address is the doi.org landing page, and the paper is behind Nature's paywall. |

| Distinct from | berut2015information The Nature letter and the full account of the same experiment. berut2012experimental is the 2012 measurement of Landauer's bound in a colloidal-particle memory, four pages and held as a citation only; this is the same group's 27-page treatment in the Journal of Statistical Mechanics three years later, with the experiment set out at length. The corpus can read the second and not the first. |

| Distinct from | landauer1961irreversibility The bound and its measurement, fifty-one years apart. Landauer 1961 argues that a logically irreversible operation must dissipate of order kT; this paper measures that dissipation with a single colloidal particle in a double-well trap and finds the bound holds. |
