Starting at the mesoscopic level with a general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics in
terms of Markov jump processes, we identify the scaling conditions that ensure the …

We study the time evolution of thermodynamic observables that characterise the dissipative
nature of thermal relaxation after an instantaneous temperature quench. Combining tools …

The Gibbs distribution universally characterizes states of thermal equilibrium. In order to
extend the Gibbs distribution to non-equilibrium steady states, one must relate the self …

Maxwell's demons work by rectifying thermal fluctuations. They are not expected to function
at macroscopic scales where fluctuations become negligible and dynamics become …

Chemical reaction networks can undergo nonequilibrium phase transitions upon variation in
external control parameters, such as the chemical potential of a species. We investigate the …

We provide a general theory of nonlinear electronic circuits subjected to thermal noise. The
devices constituting the circuit can have arbitrary IV curves but must display shot noise. This …

Organisms are non-equilibrium, stationary systems self-organized via spontaneous
symmetry breaking and undergoing metabolic cycles with broken detailed balance in the …

In a noisy environment, oscillations lose their coherence, which can be characterized by a
quality factor. We determine this quality factor for oscillations arising from a driven Fokker …

Thermokinetic relations bound thermodynamic quantities, such as entropy production of a
physical system over a certain time interval, with statistics of kinetic (or dynamical) …

Understanding the emergent behavior of chemical reaction networks (CRNs) is a
fundamental aspect of biology and its origin from inanimate matter. A closed CRN …
