When does nonreciprocity matter? Scale-dependence and nonequilibrium signatures
Sarah A. M. Loos, Robert L. Jack
Nonreciprocity is increasingly recognized as a unifying concept linking diverse nonequilibrium phenomena found across physics, chemistry, and biology. It gives rise to distinctive…

Nonreciprocal Disorder Prevents Zero-Temperature Freezing in a Ferromagnet
Noah Grodzinski, Robert L. Jack, Sarah A. M. Loos
Nonreciprocal interactions underpin diverse nonequilibrium phenomena, yet the effects of quenched nonreciprocity in extended systems remain largely unexplored. We study a Isin…

Odd pathways speed up self-assembly
Dawid Dopierała, Luca Cocconi, Robert L. Jack +1
Active self-assembly can bypass equilibrium bottlenecks through external energy injection. However, generic driving typically distorts target structures and requires sustained ener…
