Arguably, almost all truly intriguing systems are ones that are far away from equilibrium -- such as stars, planetary atmospheres, and even digital circuits. But, until now, systems far from thermal ...

The Japanese collaborative team of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) and Osaka University presents a novel method for tuning hydrodynamic interfacial instability through a ...

A scientist gives an answer to a long-standing question in theoretical glass physics: what does it mean to be an order parameter for an inherently out-of-equilibrium system? Starting from first ...

Low-temperature plasmas are intrinsically non-equilibrium systems in which electromagnetic fields, particle transport, and thermodynamic processes interact ...

An international team of researchers has found a way to investigate equilibrium, or the lack thereof, in cells and other living systems. They discovered that cells violate the fundamental principle of ...
