A Minimal Thermodynamically Consistent Chemical Oscillator

Benedikt Remlein, Luca Monari, Beatrice Bartolomei +3

Inspired by the chemical reaction network considered as the smallest system featuring a Hopf bifurcation and its reversible extension, we introduce an even more minimal reaction ne…

Dissipation-Reliability Tradeoff for Stochastic CMOS Bits in Series

Cathryn P. Murphy, Schuyler B. Nicholson, Nahuel Freitas +2

Physical instantiations of a bit of information are subject to thermal noise that can trigger unintended bit-flip errors. Bits implemented with CMOS technology typically operate in…

It Takes Two to Make a Thing Go Right: Boosting Current in Coupled Motors

Geyao Gu, Drew Alvarez, John Strahan +3

Catalysis-driven synthetic molecular motors operate in a loose mechanochemical coupling regime, one in which a decomposition of a fuel molecule does not reliably produce a forward…

Coarse Graining Photo-Isomerization Reactions: Thermodynamic Consistency and Implications for Molecular Ratchets

Francesco Avanzini, Massimiliano Esposito, Emanuele Penocchio

We formulate thermodynamically consistent coarse-graining procedures for molecular systems undergoing thermally and photo-induced transitions: starting from elementary vibronic tra…

Methods and Conversations in (Post)Modern Thermodynamics

Francesco Avanzini, Massimo Bilancioni, Vasco Cavina +19

Lecture notes after the doctoral school (Post)Modern Thermodynamics held at the University of Luxembourg, December 2022, 5-7, covering and advancing continuous-time Markov chains,…

A [3]-catenane non-autonomous molecular motor model: geometric phase, no-pumping theorem, and energy transduction

Massimo Bilancioni, Massimiliano Esposito, Emanuele Penocchio

We study a model of synthetic molecular motor - a [3]-catenane consisting of two small macrocycles mechanically interlocked with a bigger one - subjected to a time-dependent drivin…

Sample size dependence of tagged molecule dynamics in steady-state networks with bimolecular reactions: Cycle times of a light-driven pump

Daniele Asnicar, Emanuele Penocchio, Diego Frezzato

Here, steady-state reaction networks are inspected from the viewpoint of individual tagged molecules jumping among their chemical states upon the occurrence of reactive events. Suc…

Information Thermodynamics for Deterministic Chemical Reaction Networks

Emanuele Penocchio, Francesco Avanzini, Massimiliano Esposito

Information thermodynamics relates the rate of change of mutual information between two interacting subsystems to their thermodynamics when the joined system is described by a bipa…

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of light-induced reactions

Emanuele Penocchio, Riccardo Rao, Massimiliano Esposito

Current formulations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics of open chemical reaction networks only consider chemostats as free-energy sources sustaining nonequilibrium behaviours. Here,…

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Non-Ideal Chemical Reaction Networks

Francesco Avanzini, Emanuele Penocchio, Gianmaria Falasco +1

All current formulations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics of open chemical reaction networks rely on the assumption of non-interacting species. We develop a general theory which ac…

Thermodynamic Efficiency in Dissipative Chemistry

Emanuele Penocchio, Riccardo Rao, Massimiliano Esposito

Chemical processes in closed systems are poorly controllable since they always relax to equilibrium. Living systems avoid this fate and give rise to a much richer diversity of phen…

Negative differential response in chemical reactions

Gianmaria Falasco, Tommaso Cossetto, Emanuele Penocchio +1

Reaction currents in chemical networks usually increase when increasing their driving affinities. But far from equilibrium the opposite can also happen. We find that such negative…
