We show that although these phenomena seem counterintuitive, they strictly follow the basic principle of maximum entropy. What makes the system unique is that the narrow step interrupts the probability distribution of local microstates, and imposes additional constraints on the global microstates, so that entropy reaches a nonequilibrium maximum.
This finding will have profounds impact on many aspects of statistical mechanics. It may enable high-efficiency heat and mass transfer, high-power energy harvesting, etc.
