The Problem of Engines in Statistical Physics. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 2021 Engines are open systems that can generate work cyclically at the expense of an external disequilibrium. They are ubiquitous in nature and technology, but the course of mathematical physics over the last 300 years has tended to make their dynamics in time a theoretical blind spot.

Statistical Physics of Structural Glasses [PDF]
, 2000 This paper gives an introduction and brief overview of some of our recent work on the equilibrium thermodynamics of glasses. We have focused onto first principle computations in simple fragile glasses, starting from the two body interatomic potential.

New Journal of Physics, 2018 A key challenge in complex design problems that permeate science and engineering is the need to balance design objectives for specific design elements or subsystems with global system objectives. Global objectives give rise to competing design pressures,

Advances in statistical physics
Open Physics, 2009 The organization of this Conference settled the foundation of a series hold up to following a three-year cycle. The founding declaration, undersigned by more than 100 physicists, is now deposited at the Orthodox Academy of Crete and will move to the sites of the future editions of the Conference.

A statistical physics view of swarming bacteria. [PDF]
Mov Ecol, 2019 Bacterial swarming is a collective mode of motion in which cells migrate rapidly over surfaces, forming dynamic patterns of whirls and jets. This review presents a physical point of view of swarming bacteria, with an emphasis on the statistical ...

Discussion on Electron Temperature of Gas-Discharge Plasma with Non-Maxwellian Electron Energy Distribution Function Based on Entropy and Statistical Physics [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 Electron temperature is reconsidered for weakly-ionized oxygen and nitrogen plasmas with its discharge pressure of a few hundred Pa, with its electron density of the order of 1017m−3 and in a state of non-equilibrium, based on thermodynamics and ...

Statistical physics of social dynamics [PDF]
Reviews of Modern Physics, 2007 Statistical physics has proven to be a fruitful framework to describe phenomena outside the realm of traditional physics. Recent years have witnessed an attempt by physicists to study collective phenomena emerging from the interactions of individuals as ...

Statistical physics of liquid brains [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 Liquid neural networks (or “liquid brains”) are a widespread class of cognitive living networks characterised by a common feature: the agents (ants or immune cells, for example) move in space.
