Water exhibits an anomalous nonlinear temperature-density ($\rho$-$T$) relation as it approaches freezing, along with an increase in viscosity, and a decrease in thermal conductivity. These departures from the standard Oberbeck--Boussinesq…

Living systems are maintained out-of-equilibrium by external driving forces. At stationarity, they exhibit emergent selection phenomena that break equilibrium symmetries and originate from the expansion of the accessible chemical space due…

We consider the demixing of a binary fluid mixture, under gravity, which is steadily driven into a two phase region by slowly ramping the temperature. We assume, as a first approximation, that the system remains spatially isothermal, and…
