In active matter systems, individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces
or motion at the microscale, leading to morphological features and transport properties that …

Active systems evade the rules of equilibrium thermodynamics by constantly dissipating
energy at the level of their microscopic components. This energy flux stems from the …

Abstract Systems coupled to multiple thermodynamic reservoirs can exhibit nonequilibrium
dynamics, breaking detailed balance to generate currents. To power these currents, the …

We consider a Brownian particle which, in addition to being in contact with a thermal bath, is
driven by fluctuating forces which stem from active processes in the system, such as self …

Active matter encompasses systems whose individual constituents dissipate energy to exert
propelling forces on their environment. These systems exhibit dynamical phenomena with …

For a large class of nonequilibrium systems, thermodynamic notions like work, heat, and, in
particular, entropy production can be identified on the level of fluctuating dynamical …

The principle of microscopic reversibility says that, in equilibrium, two-time cross-correlations
are symmetric under the exchange of observables. Thus, the asymmetry of cross …

Active matter agents consume internal energy or extract energy from the environment for
locomotion and force generation. Already, rather generic models, such as ensembles of …

The cells and tissues that make up our body manage contradictory mechanical demands. It
is crucial for their survival to be able to withstand large mechanical loads, but it is equally …

Finding precise signatures of different brain states is a central, unsolved question in
neuroscience. We reformulated the problem to quantify the 'inside out'balance of intrinsic …
