Ensemble theory of thermodiffusion
R. Belousov, J. Elliott, A. Erzberger
The paper develops a path‑ensemble graph model, calibrated from equilibrium simulations, to predict coupled heat and mass transport (thermodiffusion) and estimate the Soret coeffic…
Repulsive particle interactions enable selective information processing at cellular interfaces
Jenna Elliott, Hiral Shah, Roman Belousov +2
Living systems relay information across membrane interfaces to coordinate compartment functions. We identify a physical mechanism for selective information transmission that arises…
Microcanonical ensemble out of equilibrium
Roman Belousov, Jenna Elliott, Florian Berger +2
Introduced by Boltzmann under the name "monode," the microcanonical ensemble serves as the fundamental representation of equilibrium thermodynamics in statistical mechanics by coun…
Shape Switching and Tunable Oscillations of Adaptive Droplets
Tim Dullweber, Roman Belousov, Camilla Autorino +2
Living materials adapt their shape to signals from the environment, yet the impact of shape changes on signal processing and associated feedback dynamics remain unclear. We find th…
Feedback between microscopic activity and macroscopic dynamics drives excitability and oscillations in mechanochemical matter
Tim Dullweber, Roman Belousov, Anna Erzberger
The macroscopic behaviour of active matter arises from nonequilibrium microscopic processes. In soft materials, active stresses typically drive macroscopic shape changes, which in…
