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 …

Macroscopic stochastic thermodynamics

G Falasco, M Esposito - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2025 - APS
Starting at the mesoscopic level with a general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics in
terms of Markov jump processes, the scaling conditions that ensure the emergence of a …

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 …

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 …

Irreversible mesoscale fluctuations herald the emergence of dynamical phases

T Suchanek, K Kroy, SAM Loos - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We study fluctuating field models with spontaneously emerging dynamical phases. We
consider two typical transition scenarios associated with parity-time symmetry breaking …

Modern perspectives on near-equilibrium analysis of Turing systems

AL Krause, EA Gaffney… - … Transactions of the …, 2021 - royalsocietypublishing.org
In the nearly seven decades since the publication of Alan Turing's work on morphogenesis,
enormous progress has been made in understanding both the mathematical and biological …

[HTML][HTML] On principles of emergent organization

A Rupe, JP Crutchfield - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
After more than a century of concerted effort, physics still lacks basic principles of
spontaneous self-organization. To appreciate why, we first state the problem, outline …

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 …

Thermodynamic bounds on symmetry breaking in linear and catalytic biochemical systems

S Liang, P De Los Rios, DM Busiello - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Living systems are maintained out of equilibrium by external driving forces. At stationarity,
they exhibit emergent selection phenomena that break equilibrium symmetries and originate …
