Non-equilibrium research focuses on studying systems that are not in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium, meaning that they are constantly changing and evolving over time. This field of research encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering, and addresses phenomena such as self-organization, pattern formation, and fluctuations in systems far from equilibrium. Researchers in this area aim to understand the underlying principles that govern the behavior of non-equilibrium systems and develop new theoretical frameworks and experimental techniques to study them. Non-equilibrium research has applications in a variety of fields, including materials science, biophysics, and complex systems.
