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

21 March 2024

Superstring flux compactifications can stabilize all moduli while leading to an enormous number of vacua solutions, each leading to different 4−d laws of physics. While the string landscape provides at present the only plausible explanation for...

Hyper-Ballistic Superdiffusion of Competing Microswimmers

  • Eirik Grude Flekkøy

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...

Currently, there is no widely accepted consensus regarding a consistent thermodynamic framework within the special relativity paradigm. However, by postulating that the inverse temperature 4-vector, denoted as β, is future-directed and time-like...

A Measure of Synergy Based on Union Information

  • André F. C. Gomes and
  • Mário A. T. Figueiredo

19 March 2024

The partial information decomposition (PID) framework is concerned with decomposing the information that a set of (two or more) random variables (the sources) has about another variable (the target) into three types of information: unique, redundant,...

Game Theoretic Clustering for Finding Strong Communities

  • Chao Zhao,

18 March 2024

We address the challenge of identifying meaningful communities by proposing a model based on convex game theory and a measure of community strength. Many existing community detection methods fail to provide unique solutions, and it remains unclear ho...

Space-time in quantum mechanics is about bridging Hilbert and configuration space. Thereby, an entirely new perspective is obtained by replacing the Newtonian space-time theater with the image of a presumably high-dimensional Hilbert space, through w...

Group Structure as a Foundation for Entropies

  • Henrik Jeldtoft Jensen and
  • Piergiulio Tempesta

18 March 2024

Entropy can signify different things. For instance, heat transfer in thermodynamics or a measure of information in data analysis. Many entropies have been introduced, and it can be difficult to ascertain their respective importance and merits. Here,...
