Cover Story: Symmetry breaking, observed from the early universe to complex organisms, remains a key puzzle in understanding life’s emergence. The origin, particularly from an energetic standpoint, remains unexplained. Our novel approach considers energy dissipation crucial in elucidating symmetry breaking, particularly lost free energy. Through comprehensive thermodynamic analysis across scales, we present experimental evidence and establish a direct link between nonequilibrium free energy and energy dissipation during structure formation. Results highlight energy dissipation’s pivotal role, not just as an outcome, but as the trigger for symmetry breaking. This insight suggests that understanding complex systems’ origins requires focusing on nonequilibrium processes. View this paper

Hyper-Ballistic Superdiffusion of Competing Microswimmers

21 March 2024

Hyper-ballistic diffusion is shown to arise from a simple model of microswimmers moving through a porous media while competing for resources. By using a mean-field model where swimmers interact through the local concentration, we show that a non-line...
