Non-reciprocal phase transitions
Out of equilibrium, a lack of reciprocity is the rule rather than the exception. Non-reciprocity
occurs, for instance, in active matter,,,,–, non-equilibrium systems,–, networks of neurons …

OxPhos defects cause hypermetabolism and reduce lifespan in cells and in patients with mitochondrial diseases
Patients with primary mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) defects present with
fatigue and multi-system disorders, are often lean, and die prematurely, but the mechanistic …

From stochastic thermodynamics to thermodynamic inference
U Seifert - Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Thermodynamic bound on the asymmetry of cross-correlations
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 …

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 …
