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

The Boltzmann kinetic equation for dilute granular suspensions under simple (or uniform) shear flow (USF) is considered to determine the non-Newtonian transport properties of the system. In contrast to previous attempts based on a coarse-grained desc...

In general, sound waves propagate radially outwards from a point source. These waves will continue in the same direction, decreasing in intensity, unless a boundary condition is met. To arrive at a universal understanding of the relation between freq...

Kinetic theory provides modeling of open quantum systems subject to Markovian noise via the Wigner–Fokker–Planck equation, which is an alternate of the Lindblad master equation setting, having the advantage of great physical intuition as...
