A minimal scenario for the origin of non-equilibrium order
Riccardo Ravasio, Kabir Husain, Constantine G. Evans +4
Life uses non-equilibrium mechanisms to create ordered structures not attainable at equilibrium; the resulting order is assumed to provide functional benefits that outweigh costs o…
Training physical matter to matter
Heinrich M. Jaeger, Arvind Murugan, Sidney R. Nagel
Biological systems offer a great many examples of how sophisticated, highly adapted behavior can emerge from training. Here we discuss how training might be used to impart similarl…
Closed ecosystems extract energy through self-organized nutrient cycles
Akshit Goyal, Avi I. Flamholz, Alexander P. Petroff +1
Our planet is roughly closed to matter, but open to energy input from the sun. However, to harness this energy, organisms must transform matter from one chemical (redox) state to a…
Learning to learn: Non-equilibrium design protocols for adaptable materials
Martin J. Falk, Jiayi Wu, Ayanna Matthews +5
Evolution in time-varying environments naturally leads to adaptable biological systems that can easily switch functionalities. Advances in the synthesis of environmentally-responsi…
Curiosity-driven search for novel non-equilibrium behaviors
Martin J. Falk, Finnegan D. Roach, William Gilpin +1
Exploring the spectrum of novel behaviors a physical system can produce can be a labor-intensive task. Active learning is a collection of iterative sampling techniques developed in…
Pattern recognition in the nucleation kinetics of non-equilibrium self-assembly
Constantine Glen Evans, Jackson O'Brien, Erik Winfree +1
Inspired by biology's most sophisticated computer, the brain, neural networks constitute a profound reformulation of computational principles. Remarkably, analogous high-dimensiona…
