TLDR
In this paper, the authors considered a Brownian particle in a periodic potential under heavy damping and showed that if the particle is subject to an external force having time correlations, detailed balance is lost and the particle can exhibit a nonzero net drift speed.Abstract:
We consider a Brownian particle in a periodic potential under heavy damping. The second law forbids it from displaying any net drift speed, even if the symmetry of the potential is broken. But if the particle is subject to an external force having time correlations, detailed balance is lost and the particle can exhibit a nonzero net drift speed. Thus, broken symmetry and time correlations are sufficient ingredients for transport.read more

Multiple arm apparatus and methods for separation of particles
Andrea Marziali,Joel Pel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a three arms extending radially from a central reservoir, each arm being associated with a separation electrode, at least one on the arms includes a separation medium, and using a sequence of driving and mobility-changing voltages, target particles can be separated from closely related particles within a sample.

M. Gorman,M. el-Hamdi,B. Pearson +2 more
TL;DR: The experimental results are discussed in the context of the physical characteristics of the flame front and in terms of bifurcations of systems with symmetry.

Coupled Brownian motors: The entropic mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a non-standard hysteretic cycle with a staircase-like structure can be obtained by noise induced phase transition in an entropic mechanism, where the noise-induced phase transition originates from a short time instability.

Surfing at wave fronts: The bidirectional movement of cargo particles driven by molecular motors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the properties of intracellular transport of particles (vesicles, organelles, virus, etc.) in the realm of models that describe the dynamics of interacting molecular motors moving along microtubules.

The Fokker-Planck Equation: Methods of Solution and Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the Fokker-Planck Equation for N Variables (FPE) was extended to N = 1 variable and N = 2 variables, where N is the number of variables in the system.
