The universe is comprised of systems in states of change or responding to a driving force. Yet a fundamental understanding of these nonequilibrium systems that enables predictive design has eluded scientists to date. This program aims to develop ground-breaking principles and methodologies to predict properties of nonequilibrium systems using both statistical physics and molecular simulations. Significantly, by pioneering new theories and building Australian capacity in this area, we will be able to understand, control and utilise their distinctive behaviour in design. Expected outcomes and benefits are multi-dimensional, including breakthrough theory and new capability for high-end technologies such as nanofluidics, robotics and batteries.

宇宙是由处于变化状态或对驱动力作出反应的系统组成的。然而，迄今为止，科学家们一直无法从根本上理解这些非平衡系统，从而实现预测性设计。该计划旨在开发突破性的原理和方法来预测非平衡系统的性质，同时使用统计物理和分子模拟。重要的是，通过开拓新理论和建设澳大利亚在这一领域的能力，我们将能够理解、控制和利用他们在设计中的独特行为。预期的结果和效益是多方面的，包括突破性的理论和高端技术的新能力，如纳米流体、机器人和电池。
