Living systems operate far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Enzymatic activity can induce
broken detailed balance at the molecular scale. This molecular scale breaking of detailed …

Abstract Systems coupled to multiple thermodynamic reservoirs can exhibit nonequilibrium
dynamics, breaking detailed balance to generate currents. To power these currents, the …

The principle of microscopic reversibility says that, in equilibrium, two-time cross-correlations
are symmetric under the exchange of observables. Thus, the asymmetry of cross …

Active matter includes living and nonliving systems that have in common that they contain
energy-consuming and forcegenerating microscopic constituents that drive emergent …

The actin cytoskeleton is an active semi-flexible polymer network whose non-equilibrium
properties coordinate both stable and contractile behaviors to maintain or change cell …

The interplay between activity and elasticity often found in active and living systems triggers
a plethora of autonomous behaviors ranging from self-assembly and collective motion to …

The recent interest into the Brownian gyrator has been confined chiefly to the analysis of
Brownian dynamics both in theory and experiment despite the applicability of general cases …

Active matter systems are inherently out of equilibrium and break the detailed balance (DB)
at the microscopic scale, exhibiting vital collective phenomena such as motility-induced …

Measuring and quantifying nonequilibrium dynamics in active biological systems is a major
challenge because of their intrinsic stochastic nature and the limited number of variables …

Sperm swimming is crucial to fertilize the egg, in nature and in assisted reproductive
technologies. Modeling the sperm dynamics involves elasticity, hydrodynamics, internal …
