Mastering the non-equilibrium assembly and operation of molecular machines
In mechanically interlocked compounds, such as rotaxanes and catenanes, the molecules
are held together by mechanical rather than chemical bonds. These compounds can be …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relation for time-dependent driving
T Koyuk, U Seifert - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations yield a lower bound on entropy production in terms of
the mean and fluctuations of a current. We derive their general form for systems under …

Cost and precision of Brownian clocks
AC Barato, U Seifert - Physical Review X, 2016 - APS
Brownian clocks are biomolecular networks that can count time. A paradigmatic example are
proteins that go through a cycle, thus regulating some oscillatory behavior in a living system …

Geometric heat pump: Controlling thermal transport with time-dependent modulations
The second law of thermodynamics dictates that heat simultaneously flows from the hot to
cold bath on average. To go beyond this picture, a range of works in the past decade show …
