Focus on nonequilibrium fluctuation relations: from classical to quantum
New Journal of Physics, 2015 The fluctuation dissipation theorem is at the heart of equilibrium statistical mechanics. For a system away from thermal equilibrium, generalized nonequilibrium fluctuation relations have been found in recent years.

Planck's formula and glassy behavior in classical nonequilibrium statistical mechanics
, 2000 In statistical mechanics it is well known that one has to take into account the role of the relaxation times to equilibrium. We discuss the relevance of this fact for systems of weakly coupled harmonic oscillators in a classical framework, showing how ...

Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics
This book covers nonequilibrium statistical physics. Part one, aimed at undergraduates, introduces Langevin equations, general stochastic processes, kinetic theory, fluctuation theory, linear response theory, and stochastic thermodynamics. Part two discusses advanced topics and how to build nonequilibrium stochastic models.

Speed limits to fluctuation dynamics
Communications PhysicsFluctuation dynamics of an experimentally measured observable offer a primary signal for nonequilibrium systems, along with dynamics of the mean. While universal speed limits for the mean have actively been studied recently, constraints for the speed of ...

Typicality and the Approach to Equilibrium in Boltzmannian Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
, 2009 Systems prepared in a non-equilibrium state approach, and eventually reach, equilibrium. Why do they do so? An important contemporary version of the Boltzmannian approach to statistical mechanics answers this question in terms of typicality.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Statistical Mechanics where Newton’s Third Law is Broken
Physical Review X, 2015 There is a variety of situations in which Newton’s third law is violated. Generally, the action-reaction symmetry can be broken for mesoscopic particles, when their effective interactions are mediated by a nonequilibrium environment. Here, we investigate

Rectification in Nonequilibrium Parity Violating Metamaterials
Physical Review X, 2020 Understanding mechanisms for rectifying stochastic fluctuations has been a long-standing problem in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Here, we explore an opportunity provided by nonequilibrium parity-violating metamaterials to uncover new mechanisms ...

Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of one-dimensional turbulence
, 1984 The method of statistical mechanics is applied to the study of the one-dimensional model of turbulence proposed in an earlier paper. The closure problem is solved by the variational approach which has been developed for the three-dimensional case ...

Investigating the Low‐Temperature Phase Stability of the Binary Ta–W System
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Atomistic simulations show that the binary Ta–W system forms ordered intermetallic phases, B2‐TaW and D03‐TaW3, as 0 K ground states. Configurational entropy, however, lowers the free energy of the disordered bcc solid solution, which becomes the stable phase above about 400 K.
