Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.The overpotential constitutes an electrochemical potential difference at the solid–liquid interface, which can manifest itself in different ways. In general, it can not only drive the reaction along the reaction coordinate, but also modulate chemical potentials in the extended environment that shape activation barriers, without necessarily being a ...

Performance limits of information engines
Advances in Physics: XWe review recent studies of a colloidal information engine that consists of a bead in water and held by an optical trap. The bead is ratcheted upward without any apparent external work, by taking advantage of favorable thermal fluctuations.

Superstatistical approach to air pollution statistics
Physical Review Research, 2020 Air pollution by nitrogen oxides (NO_{x}) is a major concern in large cities as it has severe adverse health effects. However, the statistical properties of air pollutants are not fully understood.

Construction of traveling clusters in the Hamiltonian mean-field model by nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal waves. [PDF]
, 2011 Traveling clusters are ubiquitously observed in the Hamiltonian mean-field model for a wide class of initial states, which are not predicted to become spatially inhomogeneous states by nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and by nonlinear Landau damping.

Quantifying Hidden Order out of Equilibrium
Physical Review X, 2019 While the equilibrium properties, states, and phase transitions of interacting systems are well described by statistical mechanics, the lack of suitable state parameters has hindered the understanding of nonequilibrium phenomena in diverse settings, from

Reduced Models of Point Vortex Systems
Entropy, 2018 Nonequilibrium statistical models of point vortex systems are constructed using an optimal closure method, and these models are employed to approximate the relaxation toward equilibrium of systems governed by the two-dimensional Euler equations, as well ...
