Classical thermodynamics treats temperature as a state variable characterizing systems in equilibrium with idealized infinite reservoirs. We argue that this framing, while computationally exact, obscures an essential physical reality: any…

We propose a mean-field model of intermittent particle transport, where a particle may be in one of two phases: the first is an active (ballistic) phase, when a particle runs with constant velocity in some direction, and the second is a…
In a simple model of a continuous random walk a particle moves in one dimension with the velocity fluctuating between V and -V. If V is associated with the thermal velocity of a Brownian particle and allowed to be position dependent, the…
