The intertwined physics of active chemical reactions and phase separation

D Zwicker - Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2022 - Elsevier
Phase separation is the thermodynamic process that explains how droplets form in
multicomponent fluids. These droplets can provide controlled compartments to localize …

Circuit theory for chemical reaction networks

F Avanzini, N Freitas, M Esposito - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
We lay the foundation of a circuit theory for chemical reaction networks. Chemical reactions
are grouped into chemical modules solely characterized by their current-concentration …

Symmetry, thermodynamics, and topology in active matter

MJ Bowick, N Fakhri, MC Marchetti, S Ramaswamy - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
The name active matter refers to any collection of entities that individually use free energy to
generate their own motion and forces. Through interactions, active particles spontaneously …

enormous progress has been made in understanding both the mathematical and biological …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relation and thermodynamic speed limit in deterministic chemical reaction networks

K Yoshimura, S Ito - Physical review letters, 2021 - APS
We generalize the thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) and thermodynamic speed
limit (TSL) for deterministic chemical reaction networks (CRNs). The scaled diffusion …

interacting subsystems to their thermodynamics when the joined system is described by a …

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of the asymmetric Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model

M Aguilera, M Igarashi, H Shimazaki - Nature Communications, 2023 - nature.com

dynamics characterized by a positive entropy production while exchanging energy and …

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of non-ideal chemical reaction networks

F Avanzini, E Penocchio, G Falasco… - The Journal of Chemical …, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
All current formulations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics of open chemical reaction
networks rely on the assumption of non-interacting species. We develop a general theory …

Thermodynamic efficiency in dissipative chemistry

E Penocchio, R Rao, M Esposito - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
Chemical processes in closed systems inevitably relax to equilibrium. Living systems avoid
this fate and give rise to a much richer diversity of phenomena by operating under …
