Bundles of filaments are subject to geometric frustration: certain deformations (e.g. bending while twisted) require longitudinal variations in spacing between filaments. While bundles are common -- from protein fibers to yarns -- the…

The absence of a simple fluctuation-dissipation theorem is a major obstacle for studying systems that are not in thermodynamic equilibrium. We show that for a fluid in a non-equilibrium steady state characterized by a constant temperature…
Turbulent flows frequently accompany physical, chemical and biological processes, such as mixing, two-phase flow, combustion and even foraging by bacteria and plankton larvae, all of which are in principle subject to thermal fluctuations…
