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 ...

Discovery could be the beginning of a general framework of rules for seemingly unpredictable non-equilibrium systems.

Equilibrium is a state of balance of opposing actions that is central in virtually everything that happens, from basic physics to dance and the arts, economics and social ideologies.

Another important difference between atomic and polaritonic BECs is that atomic BECs are in thermal equilibrium, while polaritonic BECs are out-of-equilibrium systems. Indeed, to maintain a ...

No real thermodynamic system, be it a living organism or an industrial process, exists in a state of equilibrium. Instead, energy continually flows through systems and the second law of thermodynamics ...

A new discovery could be the beginning of a general framework of rules for seemingly unpredictable non-equilibrium systems, explain researchers.
