A review is given on the foundations and applications of non-Hermitian classical and
quantum physics. First, key theorems and central concepts in non-Hermitian linear algebra …

Nanofluidics has firmly established itself as a new field in fluid mechanics, as novel
properties have been shown to emerge in fluids at the nanometric scale. Thanks to recent …

The interior of a living cell is a crowded, heterogenuous, fluctuating environment. Hence, a
major challenge in modeling intracellular transport is to analyze stochastic processes within …

Osmosis is a universal phenomenon occurring in a broad variety of processes and fields. It
is the archetype of entropic forces, both trivial in its fundamental expression–the van't Hoff …

Unlike equilibrium statistical mechanics, with its well-established foundations, a similar
widely accepted framework for non-equilibrium statistical mechanics (NESM) remains …

One of the major challenges in modern biology is to understand how the molecular
components of a living cell operate in a highly noisy environment. What are the specific …

Recent molecular dynamics simulations of water transport through the interior channel of a
carbon nanotube in contact with an aqueous reservoir showed that conduction occurred in …

The hallmark of eukaryotic cells is the nucleus that contains the genome, enclosed by a
physical barrier known as the nuclear envelope (NE). On the one hand, this …

Permeation of ions from one electrolytic solution to another, through a protein channel, is a
biological process of considerable importance. Permeation occurs on a time scale of micro …

We simulate constrained dynamics of two species transport across single-file molecular-
sized pores such as biomembrane channels and zeolites. We focus on diffusional pum** …
