It is commonly admitted that in liquids the thermal diffusion and Dufour coefficients $D_{T}$\ and $D_{F}$ satisfy Onsager's reciprocity. From their relation to the cross-coefficients of the phenomenological equations, we are led to the…
Dynamic facilitation theory assumes short-ranged dynamic constraints to be the essential feature of supercooled liquids and draws much of its conclusions from the study of kinetically constrained models. While deceptively simple, these…
Many biological processes are supported by special molecules, called motor proteins or molecular motors, that transport cellular cargoes along linear protein filaments and can reversibly associate to their tracks. Stimulated by these…
We consider a model system in which anomalous diffusion is generated by superposition of underlying linear modes with a broad range of relaxation times. In the language of Gaussian polymers, our model corresponds to Rouse (Fourier) modes…

We consider a one-dimensional gas of two kinds of particles with different masses interacting through short range interactions. The system exhibits an extreme form of the Soret effect: when the ends of the system are in contact with thermal…
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the behavior of a compressible Lennard-Jones fluid in simple shear flow in a two-dimensional nanochannel. The system is equilibrated in the fluid phase close to the triple point at which gas,…
