Energy harvesting holds great potential to achieve long-lifespan self-powered operations of
wireless sensor networks, wearable devices, and medical implants, and thus has attracted …

Stochastic thermodynamics as reviewed here systematically provides a framework for
extending the notions of classical thermodynamics such as work, heat and entropy …

What happens in our brain when we make a decision? What triggers a neuron to send out a
signal? What is the neural code? This textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning …

Coupled biological and chemical systems, neural networks, social interacting species, the
Internet and the World Wide Web, are only a few examples of systems composed by a large …

A new Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) is presented. This new approach
consists of sifting an ensemble of white noise-added signal (data) and treats the mean as …

Neurons in the brain communicate by short electrical pulses, the so-called action potentials
or spikes. How can we understand the process of spike generation? How can we …

Multistability is the phenomenon of multiple coexistent stable states, which are highly
sensitive to perturbations, initial conditions, system parameters, etc. Multistability has been …

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 …

In this review, we present the theoretical foundations and first-principles frameworks to
describe quantum matter within quantum electrodynamics (QED) in the low-energy regime …

Synchronization phenomena in large populations of interacting elements are the subject of
intense research efforts in physical, biological, chemical, and social systems. A successful …
