New Book: Basic Nonequilibrium Physics with Applications to Biology and Chemistry
Dr. Zuckerman's next book, "Basic Nonequilibrium Physics with Applications to Biology and Chemistry," is currently being written. This online-only book covers the essentials of nonequilibrium science with a special focus on biochemical and biophysical applications. Learn how the cell runs on the nonequilibrium fuel ATP and the key role of molecular dynamics in clarifying nanoscale nonequilibrium phenomena generally. Learn how usable (free) energy stems from nonequilibrium conditions, and the connection to equilibrium, and more. Linked preprint chapters will be added and updated as they are available.
