Information-driven stepping in dimeric transport motors
Antonio Patrón Castro, David A. Sivak
The paper presents a theoretical model for the stepping behavior of dimeric molecular motors, showing how position‑dependent mobility switching enables directed motion as a pure in…
Hunting for Maxwell's Demon in the Wild
Johan du Buisson, Jannik Ehrich, Matthew P. Leighton +4
The paradox of Maxwell's demon motivated the development of information thermodynamics and the creation of nanoscale information engines. We now understand that machines such as th…
Harnessing higher-dimensional fluctuations in an information engine
Antonio Patrón Castro, John Bechhoefer, David A. Sivak
We study the optimal performance of an information engine consisting of an overdamped Brownian bead confined in a controllable, -dimensional harmonic trap and additionally subje…
Information thermodynamics of cellular ion pumps
Julian D. Jiménez-Paz, Matthew P. Leighton, David A. Sivak
The framework of bipartite stochastic thermodynamics is a powerful tool to analyze a composite system's internal thermodynamics. It has been used to study the components of differe…
Optimal Control in Soft and Active Matter
José Alvarado, Erin Teich, David Sivak +1
Soft and active condensed matter represent a class of fascinating materials that we encounter in our everyday lives -- and constitute life itself. Control signals interact with the…
