The term "molecular demon" is not a widely recognized concept in mainstream scientific literature, but it may refer to a few different ideas depending on the context. One possibility is that it relates to the concept of a "demon" in statistical mechanics, particularly in the context of Maxwell's Demon, a thought experiment first proposed by the physicist James Clerk Maxwell in 1867.
