Cover Story: Viruses do not maintain homeostasis and depend on the environment. They prefer aqueous environments because the information life-cycle of a virus is dominated by entropic hydrophobic forces that are needed for self-assembly. This makes viruses similar to macroscale objects, such as liquid marbles, and enables their study using novel droplet cluster technology. View this paper

In this work we propose a model for open Markov chains that can be interpreted as a system of non-interacting particles evolving according to the rules of a Markov chain. The number of particles in the system is not constant, because we allow the par...
