Non-equilibrium symmetry of cyclic first-passage times
Daniel Maria Busiello, Shiling Liang, Simone Pigolotti
We study the sum of first passage times along an arbitrary cycle made up of N>2 states of a small physical system. We show that, if the system is at thermodynamic equilibrium, this…
Thermodynamic Space of Chemical Reaction Networks
Shiling Liang, Paolo De Los Rios, Daniel Maria Busiello
Living systems operate out of equilibrium, continuously consuming energy to sustain organised, functional states. Their emergent behaviour usually relies on a set of interconnected…
A Minimal Model for Carnot Efficiency at Maximum Power
Shiling Liang, Yu-Han Ma, Daniel Maria Busiello +1
Carnot efficiency sets a fundamental upper bound on the heat engine efficiency, attainable in the quasi-static limit, albeit at the cost of completely sacrificing power output. In…
Thermodynamic bounds on time-reversal asymmetry
Shiling Liang, Simone Pigolotti
Quantifying irreversibility of a system using finite information constitutes a major challenge in stochastic thermodynamics. We introduce an observable that measures the time-rever…
Thermodynamic Bounds on Symmetry Breaking in Linear and Catalytic Biochemical Systems
Shiling Liang, Paolo De Los Rios, Daniel Maria Busiello
Living systems are maintained out-of-equilibrium by external driving forces. At stationarity, they exhibit emergent selection phenomena that break equilibrium symmetries and origin…
Dissipation-driven selection under finite diffusion: hints from equilibrium and separation of time-scales
Shiling Liang, Paolo De Los Rios, Daniel Maria Busiello
When exposed to a thermal gradient, reaction networks can convert thermal energy into the chemical selection of states that would be unfavourable at equilibrium. The kinetics of re…
The intrinsic non-equilibrium nature of thermophoresis
Shiling Liang, Daniel Maria Busiello, Paolo De Los Rios
Exposing a solution to a temperature gradient can lead to the accumulation of particles on either the cold or warm side. This phenomenon, known as thermophoresis, has been discover…
Equilibrium and non-equilibrium furanose selection in the ribose isomerisation network
Avinash Vicholous Dass, Thomas Georgelin, Frances Westall +5
The exclusive presence of -D-ribofuranose in nucleic acids is still a conundrum in prebiotic chemistry, given that pyranose species are substantially more stable at equilibrium.…
Dissipation-driven selection in non-equilibrium chemical networks
Daniel Maria Busiello, Shi-Ling Liang, Paolo De Los Rios
Life has most likely originated as a consequence of processes taking place in non-equilibrium conditions (\textit{e.g.} in the proximity of deep-sea thermal vents) selecting states…
