Non-equilibrium interfaces. An interface is the moving or static boundary between two bulk phases. These can be free or constrained by the presence of a third phase, boundaries or inhomogeneities in the medium. At and near equilibrium the field has matured and has led to the prediction and observation of a range of novel non-trivial phenomena. ... Read more

Energy, momentum, and angular momentum transfers mediated by photons. Consider N objects in vacuum each locally may in thermal equilibrium but globally in nonequilibrium steady state. Transport of energy, momentum, or angular momentum is then possible mediated by the electromagnetic fields.... ... Read more

What can we compute, and what does it mean? ... Read more

Informatic versus Thermodynamic Entropy Production in Active Systems. Stochastic thermodynamics connects the steady-state entropy production rate (EPR) of a system connected to a heat bath with the log ratio of probabilities of forward and time-reversed trajectories ... Read more
